PETROLEUM STORAGE & TRANSPORTATION. VOLUME I--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In February 1987, the Secretary of Energy requested the National Petroleum Council (NPC) to determine the capacities of the nation's petroleum and gas storage and transportation facilities as part of the federal government's overall review of emergency preparedness planning. In addition to updating similar studies conducted in 1979 and 1984, the NPC was requested to place more emphasis on describing the dynamics and interrelationships of the petroleum and natural gas delivery systems. The results of the NPC study are presented in this comprehensive report, "Petroleum Storage & Transportation," which is being issued in five volumes. This volume, Volume I--Executive Summary, presents the study's principal conclusions, a brief description of the oil and natural gas distribution system, and summaries of the detailed volumes.
