By Eugene Ayres, Gulf Research & Development Co. lo January of last year a report was presented on "Petroleum Productive Capacity" by the Committee on Oil end G.as Availability of the Notional Pe troleum Council This report is com mended for study because it represents conclusions of the most competent peo ple in the petroleum industry. During the post ninety years the world has depended almost exclusively upon nataral-petroleum for liquid fuel. Leas than a tenth of one percent has come from, oil shale and coal. The reason for this has been economic. As long as we hove on adequate supply of cheap petroleum we will not seek more ex pensive substitutes. The small amount of supplemental fuel so far used has been surplus benxol and tar from by product coke ovens, and shale oil and fermentation alcohol produced as oc casional slight gestures toward political expediency. How long will cheap pe troleum be In adequate supply? The answer hinges on four numbers--supply ond demand In the U.S. uml supply and demand In the rest of the world. How about demand for the rest ol 2 Politics, won dotsrmlno world pro duction peak In billions of barrels the world? The rest oi the world is in creasing its consumption more rapidly than we are. The most obvious ex planation is that the rest of the world has a far greater margin (or technologi cal improvement and for potential de mand than we have.
