<paragraph id="H01F1B9D436184257B11E105FC7AB895B"><enum>(1)</enum><text>The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was created by Congress in 1975, to protect the Nation from
any future oil supply disruptions. When the program was established,
United States refiners were capable of handling light crude and medium
crude and the makeup of the SPR matched this capacity. This is not the
case today.</text>

are not compatible with the types of oil currently stored in the SPR and
would be unable to maintain normal refining capacity if forced to rely on
SPR oil as currently constituted, thereby reducing the effectiveness of
the SPR in the event of a supply disruption. GAO concluded that the SPR
should be comprised of at least 10 percent heavy crude.</text>
