This report is an analysis by the Interagency Oil Task Force, formed in April 1974, to provide estimates for the potential production capabilities of the oil industry and the resources necessary to achieve these levels of production. The report outlines the possible levels of future production of petroleum liquids from domestic sources, and estimates how much domestic production would result at various price levels under a continuation of pre-1973 policies and, alternatively, under policies modified to give maximum encouragement to domestic oil production. Requirements for capital, equipment, materials, and personnel are also estimated.

This report is a technical analysis of the Water Resources Council prepared to determine the degree to which the water resources of the United States will be able to accommodate potential increases in energy production. The study considers the competition of energy-related water requirements with existing or anticipated future water uses for other purposes; accommodation of energy-related water requirements with other competing uses; the magnitude and extent of any water supply shortages, water quality, institutional and other water supply problems (environmental, capital investment, manpower, inter-basin transfer) that may restrict or prevent selected future condition energy development scenarios from being implemented; water-related Federal actions required to overcome problems and constraints of the nature described above; the requirements which need to be placed on hydroelectric power generation capability to assist in meeting the Nation's energy needs.

This report contains the final technical analysis of the Project Independence Interagency Natural Gas Task Force chaired by the Federal Power Commission. The task force was formed in April 1974 to provide estimates for the Project Independence Blueprint of the potential production capabilities of the natural gas industry and the resources necessary to achieve these levels of production. The task force evaluated two alternative strategies. The first was "business-as-usual," which assumed the continuation of all current policies that could affect levels of natural gas production. The second strategy, "accelerated demand," assumed selected changes in policies or practices that would permit a greater expansion of potential production. The data support from the Natural Gas Task Force, together with estimates of resource availability, conservation and demand forecasts served as input into the Project Independence Blueprint analysis. This report is not a production or price forecast and does not represent policy or program recommendations of the Federal Energy Administration or of the other participating agencies
