DALLAS, April 18.-The end Of the
United States gasoline resources was
pushed back 20 per cent or more today
by report to the American Chemical
Society on the newest ways Of chang
ing natural gas into liquid gasoline.
Reforming, spelled with hy-
phen. is the technical name for this
conversion" The process. in its pres
ent infancy stage. is capable of add
ing 20 per cent to the country's gaso-
line supply. American gasoline pro-
duction last year was 100000, ,000, 900
gallons.
The 20 per cent estimate is ultra
conservative. DR.. Per K Frolich, who
made the report. refused to estimate,
but enthusiastic petroleum chemists
have claimed that an immediate so
per cent addition to gasoline could be
made from natural gas. DR.. Frolich
Is director of the chemical laboratories
Of the Standard Oil Development Co.,
Elizabeth, N. Y.
Under the latest discoveries about
extracting gasoline. Dr. Frolich said,
natural gas and petroleum rate the
same as resources. Gas can be re
formed" into liquid fuel by the same
cracking processes which in the recent
past have more than doubled the
amount of gasoline from Oil.
How long the gas-reinforced gaso-
line resources will last, chemists re-
fused to predict. The outside esti-
mates, without using the natural gas,
have ranged around 100 years.
The present ability to change gas
into liquid fuel is limited. One big
obstacle is methane, or marsh gas,
which exists in large quantities in
natural gas, 1t cannot now be
changed into gasoline.
