Surplus andc ulbacks

Oil Industry Gains


HOUSTON, Jan. i.-Surplus
inventories and production cut
backs in 1854 prevented con-
tinuation Of some Of the spec
tacular annual gains recorded
by the oil industry since 1915.
The industry had q healthy
1854 but most gains were minor
when compared with other post

There was gwen q strong pos

Well compilations were con-
sidered certain to break 1885

however. showed little change
from 1853.
Demand Slightly Higher.
The overall 1854 demand for
crude and petroleum products
was estimated to have exceeded
1853 by from to 2 per cent,
less than half the anticipated
gain. Early forecasts for 1855
include gains ranging from 2
to 5 per cent.
The year begins with many
oilmen facing two big problems:
1. The Federal Power COM
missions order freezing field
prices Of natural gas.
2. An old dispute over foreign
oil imports. plus the fact that
Trans production wells once
more are beginning to operate.
Industry representatives pla1l
to place both problems before
Congress.
Gasoline Surplus Heavy.
Gasoline was 1855 big worry
among surplus inventories.
Storage reached q record 100
million barrels just before the
spring summer heavy consump.
ton season. The level did not
drop from an alarming position
until refiners made sharp cuts
in crude runs.
Early December gasoline stor.
age was down to ISL million
barrels. only 2 million higher
than year earlier levels. Kero-
sene. Light fuel oil and heavy
oil stocks were slightly below
