WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Energy Department will consider loaning emergency crude oil to refiners caught short of supply following the shutdown of BP Plc (BP.L) massive Prudhoe Bay oil field in Alaska, a spokesman said Monday.
BP shut down the field, which can produce 400,000 barrels of oil per day, accounting for 8 percent of U.S. domestic crude production, after further corrosion problems were detected on oil pipelines there.
“This is a significant stream of supply, there is no question about it. That is why we have things like the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” the spokesman said.
Alaskan crude oil is typically used by oil companies with refineries on the West Coast, including BP, Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), Valero (VLO.N), Shell (RDSa.L), and ConocoPhillips (COP.N).
The shutdown of BP’s Prudhoe Bay field slashes Alaskan oil production by more than half.
U.S. oil refiners would have to request oil loans to put the process in motion, the spokesman said. “If it was requested, that is something we are certainly going to take a look at.”
The spokesman added that the Department of Energy will be in touch with BP and any effected refineries today.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
