REPORT BY THE U, S.



General Accounting Office


Progress In Filling The Strategic

Petroleum Reserve Continues, But

Capacity Concerns Remain


During the first three quarters of fiscal year
1982 , the Government filled the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at an average rate
of 237,000 barrels per day. As of June 30,
1982, the Department of Energy reported
that the Reserve contained 264.1 million
barrels of oil.

The Government has nearly filled the cur-
rently available permanent storage capac-
ity. In the future, the SPR fill rate will
depend on the rate at which new capacity
can be developed. This report discusses
several problems which could' affect the
development of additional capacity.
