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.

Book excerpt: The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) of the United States is critical to its national security because of the nation's reliance on oil and refined petroleum products as the cornerstone of its economic and military power. The purpose of the SPR is to provide protection against disruption of the United States' oil supply in times of war, crisis, or natural catastrophe. However, conditions have changed since the SPR was formed that make it increasingly unable to provide the protection required to keep it strategically relevant. The SPR has several limitations that significantly limit its ability to protect against disruptions in petroleum supply, including its location and geography, capacity, composition, and glaring vulnerabilities in United States petroleum supply infrastructure. This paper, based on research and personal observation, asks and answers relevant questions regarding the SPR and concludes with the author's recommendations on how the United States' policy on its SPR should change to meet national security objectives - in the context of today's challenges and those predicted for the future - in order to keep the SPR strategically valuable and relevant until it may be no longer needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The policies and practices of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) risk undermining its security and compromising its science and technology programs. This is the overarching finding of the Commission on Science and Security, tasked by DOE to assess the challenges faced in operating premier scientific institutions in the twenty-first century, while protecting and enhancing national security. In support of its finding, the commission identified five fundamental problems: (1) continuing management dysfunction; (2) poor collaboration between the science and security/counterintelligence communities; (3) lack of an effective system for risk-based security management practices; (4) inadequate investment in new tools and technologies for its security and counterintelligence programs; and (5) insufficient attention to cyber security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current crisis in the Persian Gulf has brought renewed attention to the role of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in mitigating the effects of an oil supply disruption. The SPR provides insurance against future oil supply interruptions and the impact of such interruptions on the nation's economy. To provide this protection, however, DOE must be able to offset the supplies lost by quickly drawing down SPR oil from its storage sites and distributing it to purchasers. At the request of the Chairman of the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Subcommittee of the House Committee on Government Operations, GAO examined DOE's SPR drawdown plans. Specifically, GAO was asked to (1) review DOE's current and planned capability for removing the oil from SPR sites and getting it to users through oil distribution networks, (2) examine the SPR's compliance with pipeline safety requirements, and (3) determine the status of DOE actions to correct problems GAO had previously reported.
