underground, which formerly
contained native gas. 1t will
store up to 8O,O00,O00 cubic fee,
of gas, enough to supply ar
average home for more than 40C
years, Mr.. Reed said.
The Zane storage project cost
$4,000. This includes, construc.
ton of a compressor station
piping, and installation of meas
uring equipment.
Ohio Fuel is a pioneer in the
storage of gas undergoing during
warm weather for use in meet
ing peak demands of the winter
heating season.
Natural gas most of it brought
in by transcontinental pipelines
from the rich gas fields of the
southwest, is stored in Ohio
FUELS underground storage
areas which are located strategi-
cally throughout the state, Mr.
Reed said. Ninety per cent of the
gas used by Ohio Fuel custom
ers comes from out of state be-
cause Ohio wells cannot produce
enough gas to meet increasing
demands, for heating and air
conditioning as well as for cook,
ing, refrigeration, clothes dry
ing and incineration.
During severe winter weather
when long distance pipelines
cannot carry enough gas to fill
the needs of Ohio homes and
industries, the stored gas is taken
from the storage areas and
pumped to where it is needed.
This winter 100000 Ohio
homes, three out of every four
customers of Ohio Fuel, will use
gas for house-heating. This is
possible because of the coldeSt
day of winter underground stor,
age will provide So per cent OF
the gas used.
Ohio Fuel has invested more
than $37 million in its under.
ground storage facilities to make
enough gas available to meet
demands the year-round, Mr.
Reed said.
By Nov. the eight Ohio Fuel
storage areas will contain ar
estimated 148 billion cubic feet
Other Ohio Fuel underground
storage projects are: Guernsey
