Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


The United States Refining Policy

In A Changing World

Oil Environment




This study addresses the implications of in-
ternational and domestic factors affecting the
U.S. refining industry. GAO has made obser-
vations in this report about the impacts of
those factors as they affect the domestic re-
fining industry, international markets, regula-
tory actions, and the national security.

Growing U.S. demand for refined products,
considered in light of already idle excess refi-
ning capacity in the rest of the free world,
uncertain supplies of crude oil,a rapidly dimin-
ishing sweet crude resource base, and down-
stream expansion plans of oil-producing na-
tions raises serious questions about the future
of the U.S. domestic refining industry.

Utilization of the U.S. refining capacity will
ultimately depend on the continued availabili-
ty of adequate supplies of crude--an uncertain
prospect at best.
