US SPR sales would raise $5.05 billion: CBO

摘要

A plan to sell 58 million barrels of crude from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to partially fund a two-year budget agreement will raise $5.05 billion over eight years, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. The plan, included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, calls for crude to be sold from the SPR in various increments for eight years beginning in fiscal 2018.
