The U.S. strategic oil reserve costs and future plans
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve spans five Gulf sites from Texas to Louisiana with storage aimed at one billion barrels by 1980, but by Sept 1981 only 538 million barrels were stored and just 11 percent of capacity full as of March 20. Costs have soared to $7 billion with debates over financing, private stockpiling, and private-sector roles amid broader federal budget cuts and energy policy shifts.
