Strategic Petroleum Reserve: Available Oil Can Provide Significant Benefits, but Many Factors Should Influence Future Decisions about Fill, Use, and Expansion
Congress authorized the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR),
operated by the Department of Energy (DOE), to release oil to the
market during supply disruptions and protect the U.S. economy
from damage. The reserve can store up to 727 million barrels of
crude oil, and currently contains enough oil to offset 59 days of
U.S. oil imports. GAO answered the following questions: (1) What
factors do experts recommend be considered when filling and using
the SPR? (2) To what extent can the SPR protect the U.S. economy
from damage during oil supply disruptions? (3) Under what
circumstances would an SPR larger than its current size be
warranted? As part of this study, GAO developed oil supply
disruption scenarios, used models to estimate potential economic
harm, and convened 13 experts in conjunction with the National
Academy of Sciences.
