The ctuestion of gas supply comes up
freauently these days In the following
interview with C C. Ingrain, Chairman of
the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Oklahoma Natural Gas Company, the
questions most often asked by con-
sumers are presented His answers
should clarify the situation for you
Q MR. INGRAM, IS THERE A SHORT-
AGE OF NATURAL GAS?
A NOT AS FAR AS OKLAHOMA
NATURAL IS CONCERNED. Of course,
there is a shortage in many parts of
the country There are no problems in
view, however, that the gas industry
shouldn't be able to solve
WHY IS OKLAHOMA NATURAL
COMPARATIVELY SO WELL OFF?
At, TWO MAIN REASONS. One. we re
doing business in the right place, at the
right time, and blessed with a good
gas supply
Secondly, we set out years ago to
establish ourselves as an aggressive gas
purchaser with a dependable pipeline
system and underground storage
facilities We have accomplished
those goals
BUT EVEN SO, AREN'T YOUR
RESERVES RUNNING OUT?
A NO. The latest (fiscal 1972) audit of
otlr gas supply situation showed Okla-
homa Natural with an e0uivaJenf of 14
times the 194 billion cubic feet of gas
used by our customers in the year 1912.
We also slightly increased our
reserves during a year when this was a
rare occurrence among gas companies.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT IN 14
YEARS YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS?
NOr BECAUSE OKLAHOMA IS
THE 3RD RANKED GAS PRODUCING
STATE IN AMERICA, AND OKLAHOMA
NATURAL IS AN AGGRESSIVE GAS
PURCHASER AND EXPLORER. We
have no apprehension about obtaining
gas reserves that will assure our long-
term future.
WOULDN'T YOU BE BETTER OFF
WITH A 20- OR 30-YEAR RESERVE
SUPPLY?
A NOI IT BECOMES A QUESTION OF
HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH. When you
buy groEeries, you have to pay for them
whether you eat them now, tomorrow or
next week, You buy enough so you
won't have to shop every day but not so
much that you bend the family budget
or run out of storage room You buy
with a plan.
ONG buys natural gas in much the
same way We buy enough so our cus-
tomers have it whe~n they need it. But
like you, we have expenses, too. And
buying too much too soon could push our
costs and your prices up at an
accelerated rate.
Q HOW CAN WE, AS CONSUMERS,
HELP CONSERVE THIS VALUABLE
NATURAL RESOURCE?
-6- OVER 93% OF THE ELECTRICITY
GENERATED IN OKLAHOMA IS
PRODUCED BY BURNING NATURAL
GAS AS BOILER FUEL. By using
natural gas in this manner, over two-
thirds of the potential energy never
arrives at the customer's home or
business for his use. When natural gas
is used directly in the home for the
jobs it does best., it is very efficient,
This is the reason Oklahoma Natural
developed the Natural Energy Home
Program. A program of conservation
that urges everyone to utilize both
gas and electricity in an efficient and
economical manner. This concept can
add years to the availability of
natural gas,
WE AT OKLAHOMA NATURAL HAVE
BEEN IN THE ENERGY BUSINESS
FOR A LONG TIME--SINCE 1906.
WE INTEND TO REMAIN IN THIS
BUSINESS FOR A LONG, LONG
TIME TO COME.
