California Public Resources Code Section 25358 requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) to prepare a report every quarter that summarizes and analyzes petroleum industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distribution, demand, and prices. This report looks at information collected by the CEC through the Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act of 1980 and the associated regulations for analyzing trends in liquid fuel production, storage, and distribution. CEC staff developed new metrics using these data to help better inform the California public on the operations of the liquid transportation fuels supply chain. In addition, staff analyzed other data sources to provide a more comprehensive discussion of California’s liquid transportation fuel issues.
Topics included in this report:
California, United States, and world crude oil prices
Inventories of crude oil at California refineries
Quantity of crude oil processed at California refineries
Production of liquid transportation fuels
Inventories of liquid transportation fuels
Prices of liquid transportation fuels
Import and export volumes of liquid transportation fuels for California
