Oil Companies
Prepare To Meet
Record Demand
ATLANTA, Georgia With the
heavy gasoline consuming season
drawing to a close, oil companies
are preparing to meet a rccor.l
demand for fuel oils this coming
winter, Wiley L. Moore, chairman
of the Southeastern District Oil
Industry Information committee
said today.
"Oil companies everywhere have
broken all production records to
meet the unparalleled demand for
petroleum products this year and,
barring unforeseen circumstances,
will continue to do so this winter,"
Mr. Moore, who is chairman of the
board of the Wofford Oil company,
declared.
Domestic fuel oil demands this
year arc estimated at more than
double what they were before the
war and 20 percent higher than
they were last year, he said, citing
a recent nationwide survey. This
means that we are consuming fuel
oil at hi average rale of 41 mil
lion gallons every day of the year,
he added. Our consumption of all
petroleum products averages close
to ir)0 million gallons a day.
Installations of oil burners for
central heating in homes and
small stores have skyrocketed
since the end of the war, Mr.
Moore pointed out, adding that the
i u rease in new burners up to the
early part of this year amounted
to about fr percent compared with
1041. Oil burning units now in
use amount to more than .'(,700,000
The domestic demand for kero
sene, the survey showed, also has
increased bv almost 70 percent
since 11)41, to a consumption ave
raging 13.5 millioi gallons daily.
A large part of this demand i.-.
accounted for by space heaters of
various kinds, some used for cen
tral heating and others for single
room heating. Their number has
grown from two and a quarter mil
lion in use before the war to more
than five million lodav i;,icli
heater uses an average of lifiO gal
lons of kerosene or No. 1 distillate
fuel oil a year.
Transportation facilities, which
proved to be a .temporary bottle
neck dining Ihe abnormally cold
weather last winter, are constantly
being improved and expanded,
Mr. Moore said, but the industry
is hampered in its expansion pro
gram by shortages of materials,
especially steel. While moving oi!
by tank ear is more costly than
their pipeline or barge transport
ation, the industry is shipping
crude oil and products from the
Gulf Coast to the Middle West, for
example, by tank cars pending the
completion of new pipelines and
barges.
Some expansion of pipelines
from producing centers to the
Middle West has been completed
he said, but major projects arc
still under construction and are ex
pectcd to come into operation
later this year and early 194il.
Outlining what home owners can
do to stretch heating oil supplies
as far as possible and also save
money, Mr. Moore said:
"Much can be done at surpris
iigly little expense by taking ad
vantage of the fall season to mo
dernize present heating plants, or
having them checked and cleaned
to be sure you will get the most
efficient use of your fuel oil. Also
check for leaks around window
sashes, door frames, and floor
plates, and install storm windows
