Summary[edit]
| Description |
RAW WATER PUMP AT BAYOU CHOCTAW. SINCE 1976, THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A MAJOR FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO STOCKPILE CRUDE OIL. THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE FACILITY PROGRAM HAS FIVE UNDERGROUND CRUDE OIL STORAGE FACILITIES IN SALT DOMES ALONG THE GULF COASTS OF TEXAS AND LOUISIANA AND A GOVERNMENT- OWNED MARINE TERMINAL ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT ST. JAMES, LOUISIANA. THE FIVE STORAGE SITES ARE BAYOU CHOCTAW, WEEKS ISLAND, WEST HACKBERRY IN LOUISIANA AND BRYAN MOUND AND BIG HILL IN TEXAS. THESE FIVE STORAGE SITES ARE ORGANIZED INTO THREE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND CONNECTED BY DOE PIPELINES TO COMMERCIAL CRUDE OIL PIPELINE NETWORKS AND MARINE TERMINAL FACILITIES FOR DRAW DOWN DISTRIBUTION. THE BAYOU CHOCTAW SITE OF THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE IS LOCATED ON ABOUT 400 ACRES, 12 MILES SOUTHWEST OF BATON ROUGE. MORE THAN 50 MILLION BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL WILL BE STORED AT BAYOU CHOCTAW, WITH A DESIGN DRAW DOWN RATE OF MORE THAN 450,000 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL PER DAY. THE STORAGE SITE IS CONNECTED BY A 36-INCH PIPELINE TO THE ST. JAMES TERMINAL. BRINE FROM LEACHING ACTIVITY AT BAYOU CHOCTAW IS INJECTED DEEP UNDERGROUND IN SALT-WATER AQUIFIERS AT A LOCATION ABOUT TWO AND ONE HALF MILES FROM THE STORAGE FACILITY. |
