Using Elk Hills And Alaskan North
Slope Oil To Supply The Strategic


Petroleum Reserve


The Chairman, Subcommittee on Limitations
of Contracted and Delegated Authority, Senate
Committee on the Judiciary, raised questions
about the feasibility of usingcrude oil from
the federally owned Elk Hills Naval Petroleum
Reserve and the Alaskan North Slope for the
:Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The Department of Energy has recently taken
actions to allow their use by soliciting for
100,000 barrels a day of oil for the reserve
in exchange for a like quantity of Elk Hills
oil. The solicitation now allows for suppliers
of Alaskan oil to respond.
Because of the high priority of obtaining oil
as soon as possible for the reserve, GAO rec-
ommends that the Secretary of Energy is-
sue an open solicitation to select those sources
which most nearly meet the Government's
objectives. This should encourage the avail-
ability of a wide range of sources including
Elk Hills and the Alaskan Slope oil.
