EIA's Petroleum Supply Reporting
System collects information needed for determining the supply and
disposition of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas
liquids. The data are published by EIA and are used by public and
private analysts. Respondents are operators of petroleum
refineries, blending plant, bulk terminals, crude oil and product
pipelines, natural gas plant facilities, tankers, barges,
oxygenated producers and oil importers.

EIA is proposing to collect
working and shell storage capacity for crude oil and petroleum
products semi-annually in March and September on existing PSRS
monthly survey forms. Inventories are an important source of supply
in meeting regional and local demand. Industry treats inventories
strategically as an economic means of helping to meet their market
requirements and opportunities. Furthermore, as regulatory
requirements change, there is a need to monitor whether or not
capacity to store both crude oil and products is being either
temporarily or permanently idled. Data regarding capacity to hold
inventories is therefore of great interest.Storage capacity
reported on EIA surveys will include aboveground and underground
storage for only those facilities and tanks for which inventory
levels are currently reported on the surveys. Therefore, bonded
storage capacity and storage capacity in secondary and tertiary
sectors will be excluded. The change only applies to forms EIA-810,
EIA-812, EIA-813, EIA-815, and EIA-819.
