NATURAL GAS BREAKS RECORD.
Production Per Cent Greater in 1915
Than in Any Other Year.

Statistics just completed under the SUI
pervision of j. d. Northrop, of the United
States geological survey department o.
the interior show that more natura
gas was used in the United States il
1915 than in any other year. The guam
tity used was CPS SIS, s42, 900 cubic feet
which exceeds by nearly 81 billion cubic
feet. or per cent, the former record
esta blished in 1914.
The average price of this gas at the
point of consumption was 1912 cents a
thousand cubic feet, and its total market
value was sl0l ,3l2 ,3Sl, gain of OBJ
cent in unit price and OF S7,l96,S57, or
7.6 per cent, in total value compared
with the figures of 1914.
Credit for the increased production of
natural gas belongs, in the order given,
to Ohio, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Kansas, and Clifornia, which
together produced nearly 40 billion cubic
feet more in 1915 than in 1914. Signi
fcant increa SEES, important locally but I'M
important as affecting the production of
the entire country, were credited to Ar
kansas, Wyoming, and Missouri
The increases in the yield of gas may
be attributed, in Ohio, to the remarkable
success of drilling in the Cleveland gas
field, Cuyahoga county; in Oklahoma to
a decided expansion of the local casing
head gasoline industry and to greater
utilization of the vast reserves of gas
in the Cushing district in West Virginia
10 increased demand for this ideal fuel
from sources outside the state; in Kan
Il L. s h..
Augusta gas field, in Butler county; and
in California to expanding markets in
the southern part of the state and to in
creased use of casinghead gas for making
gasoline.
The principal beneficisres of the in
creased production OF natural gas were,
in the order named, Pennsylvania Ok
lahoma, Ohio, California, and Kansas,
which together consumed nearly SO bill
lion cubic feet more in 1915 than m
1914.
OF the total production of natural gas
in 1915, it is estimated that 2l7,202,-
e43, 900 cubic feet, or IS per cent, was
distributed to 2,l95,0sl domestic con
sumers at an average price of 1882 cents
a thousand cubic feet, and that the re-
naming IS per cent was distributed to
1883 industrial consumers at an average
price of 9I cents thousand. Compared
with the corresponding statistics for 1914
these figures indicate, with regard to the
gas supplied to domestic consumers,
gains of per cent In quantity, 6 per !
cent in the number of consumers, and |
OBS cent in average price; with regard
to the gas supplied to industrial consum-
ers, gains of 6 per cent in quantity, 3
per cent in the number of consumers, and |
DIP cent in average price. The percent
age of the total quantity consumed for
domestic purposes was slightly greater
in 1915 than in 1914.
