All-Out Battle Shaping Up Between Fuel Oil, Natural Gas Giants Within Year By LEROY HITTLE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER An all-out struggle for the Pa cific Northwest heating market shaped up this week as the fuel oil and natural Ras giants flexed their muscles for the impending battle. The showdown will come next year when natural eas is piped to the Northwest from Colorado and New Mexico. Distributors in the area say it will be cheap enough to enable them to compete with oil for space heating customers. The cold war already is under way. The oil industry, observing its annual Oil Progress Week this week, emphasized its home-heat ing service, its big payroll, and its heavy investment in multi-million dollar refineries at Anacortes and Kerndale. Natural gas forces, led by Ray Fish of Houston, Tex., showed Northwest newsmen and gas dis tributors vast Colorado and New Mexico gas fields and took them on an air tour along the route of a 1,466-mile pipeline that will car ry the gas to customers in Colo rado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Ore gon and Washington. The battle for the Pacific North west market will bring the grow ing area a tremendous increa.se Wn heat and energy for its homes and factories. The new energy, added to the favorable supply of hydro-electric power, should open the way to new industrial expan sion. Plans for several new plants and expansions of existing ones already have been announced. ' I The Oil Heat Institute reported energy equivalent to approximate ly five times as much as Grand Coulee and Bonneville Dams com bined is being produced annually by heating oil refineries in the Northwest. And. the Institute added, energy production will be increased to an 1 amount equivalent to seven times, the two dams by 1956. The natural gas industry present ed some figures, too. C. K. Williams, president of Pa cific Northwest Pipeline Corpora tion, said a daily load of 250 mil lion cubic feet of natural gas will be delivered to the Northwest by next July. That amount of heat energy is equivalent to all the electrical pow er" produced in the area. Williams said.-And, he continued anothoT 300 million cubic feet a day will he imported from Canada if an appli cation now penning belore the red eral Power Com mission is a p- proved, boosting the total to twice the amount ot eiecinc power gen era ted in the Pacific Northwest.
