Fuel Oil Potential
Consumption Three
Times Production

That more than $50. 900, 900 barrels
of fuel oil annually could be absorbed
by the potentially available" fuel oil
market is shown by an analysis OF the
fuel oil consumption situation.
A statement by an oil expert in this
connection follows:
IN current practice, this would call
for crude oil production of about
100. 900 900 barrels annually, or more
than three times the worlds present
production. II a third of the worlds
ocean tonnage exclusive of sailing
vessels) were today burning oil instead
of coal as fuel they would be con-
Stunning not less than 160,000,000 bar
rels of fuel OIL annually. About two
and half times the present crude
oil production from Mexico, or more
than 80 per cent of the quantity of
fuel oil produced by American refin-
cries in 1918! And this takes no ac-
count of the fuel oil requirements Of
navies
I'm 1909 American railways consum-
ed almost 20,O00O00 barrels of fuel oil.
Last year the consumption. as esti-
mated by the United States Railroad
Administration, was approximately
30. 100000 barrels, an increase OF more
than $50 per cent in ten years. II the
railways of the United States were
today using fuel oil for a third of their
traffic, they would be consuming fuel
oil at the rate of at least 10000 900
barrels annually We have in this
country more than a third of the
worlds railway mileage and perhaps
half of the worlds railway traffic.
From this rough calculation 1t would
appear that about 340,O00.0OO barrels
of fuel oil would be required annually
to handle a third of the worlds rail
way traffic under present operating
conditions.
1.-THE use of fuel oil for industrial
purposes has gained greater Roadway
than might be supposed. United States
Geological Survey few months ago
stated that from reports showing
operations in 1917, fuel oil consumed
in the United States in that year, in
Guiding crude petroleum used as fuel,
was about 204,0OO,000 barrels. This
did not include exports In that year
the railroad consumption was almost
10000, 900 barrels, leaving for other
purposes more than IFS. 10000 barrels
