West Coast Glut. Meanwhile, another problem looms: What to do with the oil when it finally begins to flow? Incredibly, that question has still not been resolved. About half the crude in Prudhoe Bay is owned by Standard Oil of Ohio, in partnership with British Petroleum. It is scheduled to be shipped by tanker from Valdez to California. But Cleveland-based Sohio has no marketing outlets on the West Coast; it wants to unload its oil at Long Beach, Calif., and move it to its territory in the Midwest through a 200-mile pipeline to be built across southern California...

Sohio claims that when the pipeline was planned, it did not believe there would be any surplus in California that would have to be piped East. The unexpected West Coast glut-about 600,000 bbl. per day-arose, says Sohio, because of increased energy conservation and the lower fuel consumption that resulted from the recession.

...Washington any longer talks seriously of "breaking" the OPEC oil cartel. Indeed, all indications are that the recession-induced world oil glut is shrinking and that the industrial countries will be stepping up their orders from OPEC over the next two years. The U.S. has counted on its carefully nurtured relationship with Saudi Arabia -the pivotal OPEC country because it has the most oil-to keep price rises reasonable. At Saudi insistence, the OPEC members did not increase oil costs during their last price jamboree, in May. But OPEC may decide that the recovery is healthy enough in the industrial...
