Rising Demand Marks Petroleum Outlook Editors note: Increased de sand for petroleum is a bright Spot in the West Coast's econ mr picture for 1958. Here is a closeup study by a top indus try leader, prepared especially tr the United Press. ty S. F. BOWLEY President, Western Oil and Gas JLlka., and Vice President Shell i Co. Written for United Press Sen Francisco (ID A rising 4m&ad for petroleum high light the Pacific Coast oil in dustry outlook for 1958. Qtxnand is expected to climb at much as four per cent or a ,90,000 barrel a day jump from 1400,000 to 1,250,000 barrels a 4ay. Balancing this increased de mand will be the opening early in the year of a new source of etude supply a 70,000 barrel a 4ay pipe line from four corners te Southern California refining can tars. Domestic production In Cali fortia ts expected to continue to decline from peaks establish 4 in the early 1950s. The future . af imports is not clear at this moment but approximately 350, 468 barrels are currently being Imported to make up the deficit California's own production. Th ftate tidelands have at tractive possibilities for explora tion. However, the exploration 'n4 exploitation of these po tentials, so vital to the West Coast economy, have been great ly impeded by two adverse fac tors. First, the extremely high coat of tidelands operations; sec 6ftdly, unfavorable state legisla tion which has not encouraged the development of state owned tidelands. Horthwect Oil Discovered It is anticipated that there will be increased drilling activity in Alaska and the Pacific North west to evaluate significant oil discoveries made this year. The four per cent anticipated increase in petroleum, demand will result in part from continu ing rises in Pacific Coast popula tion, now climbing at roughly threa times the national rate. Other important factors in the jacreased demand are the indus trialization of the West and a Tiling standard of living which Teaults in greater and greater per capita energy requirements. Pe troleum today supplies more tban 0 per cent of the energy requirements of the Pacific Coast and it is expected that within 10 years this figure will - rise to 95 per cent. While the demand for petrol eum rises,' the Pacific Coast is becoming less and less depend ent upon California as a source tit crude oil. The four corners pipe line, scheduled to be opened in Ferbuary, will mark the first time that crude oil has been piped into California. Canadian imports will continue to supply partially the needs of Washing ton refineries. Imports from abroad will supply the additional crude oil needed to meet the Pacific Coast's 1,250,000 barrel daily demands. California Production Drops California production, which hit more than 1,000,000 barrels a day several years back, has approximated 930,000 barrels a day in 1957 and is expected to taper off again in 1958. Some 1,480 new wells were completed per month this year as compared with an average of 140 for the previous five years and no ap preciable change in this comple tion rate is anticipated. Oil is becoming harder and harder to find in California in 1957 only one wildcat well in 16 found a new field versus the national average of around one in nine. However, in some areas, notably the San Joaquin Valley, land leasing and exploration ac tivity have increased. No new installations will go "on stream" in 1958 to add sub stantially to the Pacific Coast's refining capacity; however, con struction is continuing on a new refinery in the Pacific North west which is scheduled for com pletion in early 1959. The entire petrolum industry is looking forward in 1958 to continue supplying economically and efficiently the ever-growing needs of the West for petroleum products. Cooperation among all phases of the petroleum industry will make possible the continu ing availability of high quality products at low cost when and where needed by the consumers.
