Long Beach appeals to FEA on oil price penalty
The city of Long Beach, with state controller office support, urged the Federal Energy Administration to cut the gravity based penalty on California oil from 6.2 cents to 2 cents. Officials argued lower gravity oils cost more to produce yet fetch lower prices elsewhere. If approved, additional wells could be developed, with one exhibit predicting 12.4 million barrels recoverable from price changes. FEA will decide after the testimony.
