Any thoughts as to how the SPR oil will be allocated?

Can't say, but we built a metering skid for the one in the Sulphur, La.
area (West Hackberry). That was after the salt dome got penetrated by a
well digger and set on fire. They had no idea how much was in there nor
how much was lost. So they used the skid to meter what was pumped out
and from then on, what was pumped back into it... Badly twisted my ankle
on that b*tch when I jumped off of it from making final adjustments, a
steel toed boot got hung between the fins on the explosion proof box. 3
days later I put down my crutches and limped down the isle that weekend
to marry my wife, 25 years ago come January...
