The White House has dismissed concerns expressed by Republican Senator John Barrasso and Representative Cathy McMorris that withdrawals 'may have caused damage to SPR's pipelines and caverns'.
- Apr 20, 2023, 2:57 AM CDT
Citing a letter to that effect, Reuters reported that some Republican members of Congress had become worried that the release of 180 million barrels of crude from those caverns had damaged their structure. The cause of worry is the fact that oil is withdrawn from the caverns through the injection of water, and water can dissolve the walls of the caverns, which affects the storage space.
The response of Granholm’s department came from another official, Kathleen Hogan, who said that"The necessary emergency sales that took place in 2022 did not damage our SPR pipelines or caverns."
