Puget Sound: 419,521 barrels/day (42% of pipeline total)If this has any duration - and it's still early but apparently the pipeline corrosion is more widespread and worse than initially thought, there's a hypothesis floating about out there that lower flow rates increases bacterial corrosion opportunities - then, well - it won't be good. If it isn't clear: this is the majority of the oil we use in the Puget Sound region.
San Francisco 123,870 barrels/day
Los Angeles 333,006 barrels/day
Hawaii 42,682 barrels/day
Exports 78,763 barrels/day
