Summary
This quarterly report, presented in five sections, describes activities undertaken with respect to the development of the Reserve during the period July 1, 1984 through September 30, 1984. The introduction and summary briefly discuss SPR program background and major activities of this quarter. Section II describes site development. Oil acquisition activities are reported in Section III. Other program topics are discussed in Section IV and information on the budget and cost of the Reserve is contained in Section V. The SPR underground storage facilities are being developed in three phases. Phase I, completed in 1980, consisted of the development of approximately 260 million barrels of storage capacity at five sites and construction of the St. James Marine Terminal. Phase II consists of storage capacity expansions at three Phase I sites by a total of 290 million barrels; cavern development is more than 75 percent complete. Phase III development consists of the construction of a new 140-million barrel storage site at Big Hill, Texas, and the further expansion of three existing SPR storage sites by a total of 60 million barrels. Phase III development continues to proceed on schedule. Leaching is now underway on all four Phase III caverns at Bryan Mound. At Big Hill, three cavern wells were completed this quarter, seven additional wells are in the process of being drilled, and site surface construction is approximately 20 percent complete. A contract for surface construction for the additional Phase III cavern at West Hackberry was awarded in September 1984. Site preparation for the single Phase III cavern at Bayou Choctaw has been completed and drilling of the wells will commence in October. During the quarter ending September 30, 1984, the total inventory of oil stored in the SPR reached 431,068,946 barrels, exceeding the Fiscal Year 1984 fill goal by approximately 2 million barrels. 2 tables.
