Abstract: Refinery linear programming models have been used to estimate the regional production of U.S. Navy jet fuel for a military mobilization scenario based on a substantial loss of Persian Gulf crude oil production and the loss of all Venezuclan petroleum exports. In the scenario, the demand for all U.S. military fuels is assumed to have tripled. The effects of these scenario conditions are mitigated by the use of strategic petroleum reserves and by the sharing agreements of the International Energy Agency. The analysis suggests that, without market over-rides, Navy jet-fuel requirements might not be met in the strategically important U.S. West Coast and the foreign Pacific regions.
