S 283 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No Emergency Crude Oil for Foreign Adversaries Act

This bill prohibits the U.S. Secretary of Energy from allowing crude oil sold at auction from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to be exported to China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran after enactment. It requires bidders to certify they will not export the oil to these countries, with limited waivers possible only if the Secretary determines it serves U.S. national security. The bill also mandates a report within 180 days detailing the destinations and refineries for all SPR oil sold since November 2021. These provisions directly affect SPR auction bidders and the specified foreign nations.
