The Oil Reserve is not located in one place, rather it is dispersed throughout the US. This makes sense logistically but also strategically. While the initial idea was one of a military necessity, it has been used to also offset the price shocks within the Oil Market. During the Clinton years, the Strategic reserve was used to offset heating oil costs.


I am not entirely sure what the exact amount within the reserve is, as it generally changes to through use and when the US demand for Oil increases. Presently, I believe the reserve is somewhere around 650 Millions barrels.

ANWR in Alaska off our coasts but we can't drill there because of Liberals
I'm not sure. But I do know that our reserves could be greater if we would build more refineries. We are not in a shortage of oil - we are in a shortage of refined oil. We are beginning to use it faster that we can make it.
Its a strategic military reserve . This oil is to be used in the event of an emergency not just because gas is expensive .
