Refinery investment and naval fuel production

Abstract: Survey data and linear programming techniques have been combined to forecast probable domestic refinery configurations and the production of Navy and other fuels for the years 1990 and 1995. The forecasts suggest that Gulf and West Coast refinery investments could be used largely for support of motor gasoline production. Future refinery configurations affect the availability of Navy mobility fuels. To maintain current fuel-supply levels, it appears that the military will have to pay more for Navy jet fuel relative to the price of civilian jet fuel. The quality of Navy jet fuel is projected to be stable during the forecast period. The Navy's marine diesel fuel is forecast to be in good supply. However, the low-temperature fluidity of the fuel is expected to deteriorate.
