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.

President, Western Oil and Gas
JLlka., and Vice President Shell

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.
