Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is to protect the United States (U.S.) from severe petroleum supply interruptions through the acquisition, storage, distribution, and management of emergency petroleum stocks and to carry out U.S. obligations under the International Energy Program. The Long-Term Strategic Review (LTSR) provides an overview of the SPR and addresses key challenges that will impact the SPR’s ability to carry out its energy security mission. As expanding North American crude oil production has substantially reduced waterborne imports into the United States and changed the flow of petroleum, numerous questions have arisen about the future of the SPR. While the threat of physical supply disruptions to the United States has diminished, the country remains connected to the global oil market through the price mechanism and its economy remains vulnerable to supply disruption induced oil price shocks. Major topics examined in this report include the state of the SPR’s surface and subsurface infrastructure, bottlenecks in the North American midstream infrastructure that impact the SPR’s ability to move oil to the market, a discussion of some of the costs and benefits of SPR options, SPR modernization requirements for infrastructure life extension and the addition of dedicated marine terminals, and issues with the SPR’s authorizing legislation, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). These areas are evaluated with consideration given to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 and the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which mandate the sale of an estimated 124 million barrels (MMbbl) of the SPR’s crude oil inventory and authorize the funding of an SPR modernization program through the sale of up to an additional $2 billion worth of oil.

Download or read book Reducing U S Vulnerability to Oil Supply Disruptions written by Walter S. Baer and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vulnerability of the United States to oil supply disruptions is at least as serious as the more chronic economic problems of import dependence. Measures to deal with the vulnerability problem include: increasing oil purchases for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve; providing incentives for private stockpiling; and developing emergency preparedness plans. This does not mean that we should delay current measures to reduce overall import dependence, such as the decontrol of oil and gas prices. But we must focus more clearly on the vulnerability problem itself as the most critical short-term energy issue for the United States and our allies. Only if we are prepared to weather oil supply disruptions in the next few years will we be able to devise longer-term solutions to our energy problems.

Download or read book The Strategic Petroleum Reserve written by Bruce Andre Beaubouef and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, the United States and other western countries were shocked by the Arab oil embargo. Lines formed at gasoline pumps; fuel stations ran out of supply; prices skyrocketed; and the nation realized its vulnerability to decisions made by leaders of countries half a world away. In response, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which was signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1975, has become the nation?s primary tool of energy policy. Following its first major use during the Persian Gulf War of 1991, officials and policy makers at the highest levels increasingly turned to the SPR to stave off shortages and mitigate rising energy prices. Author and historian Bruce A. Beaubouef examines, for the first time, the interactions that have shaped the development of the SPR. He argues that the SPR has survived because it is a passive regulatory tool that serves to protect energy consumers and petroleum consumption and does not compete with the American oil industry. Indeed, by the late twentieth century, as American import dependency reached new heights, refiners and transporters increasingly relied upon the SPR as a ready resource to help maintain feedstock when supplies were tight or disrupted. In a time of continued vulnerability, this definitive work will be of interest to those concerned with the history, economy, and politics of the oil and gas industry, as well as to historians and practitioners of oil and energy policy.

Download or read book Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans written by United States. Federal Emergency Management Agency and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 provides guidelines on developing emergency operations plans (EOP). It promotes a common understanding of the fundamentals of risk-informed planning and decision making to help planners examine a hazard or threat and produce integrated, coordinated, and synchronized plans. The goal of CPG 101 is to make the planning process routine across all phases of emergency management and for all homeland security mission areas. This Guide helps planners at all levels of government in their efforts to develop and maintain viable all-hazards, all-threats EOPs. Accomplished properly, planning provides a methodical way to engage the whole community in thinking through the life cycle of a potential crisis, determining required capabilities, and establishing a framework for roles and responsibilities. It shapes how a community envisions and shares a desired outcome, selects effective ways to achieve it, and communicates expected results. Each jurisdiction's plans must reflect what that community will do to address its specific risks with the unique resources it has or can obtain.
