Gas shortage to hurt region, study says

TOPEKA, Kan. (UPI)—The Ozarks region states—Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Louisiana—are much more dependent on natural gas than the nation as a whole, and projected gas shortages will have a major economic impact on the region, according to a 1977 Ozarks Regional Commission study.
Ozarks region industry depended upon natural gas for 82 per cent of its energy requirements in 1975, compared with 54 per cent in the nation.
In addition, 54 per cent of the region's electrical generation was fueled by natural gas, compared with only 16 per cent of the nation's.
"Natural gas shortages will have a serious negative impact on the achievement of regional economic development objectives, unless a coordinated and well-
In the residential sector, gas provides 60 per cent of the energy and in the region's commercial sector, gas provides 57 per cent of energy needs.
organized conversion to alternate fuels is achieved, "the report said.
Although the Ozarks region states produce about 47 per cent of the nation's significant curtailments. For example, Kansas, which produced 898 billion cubic feet of gas in 1974 and 846 BCF in 1975, and supplies of 65 BCF in 1974 and 96 BCF in 1976.
UNDER THE best natural gas supply and regional demand assumptions, the commission study projects a shortage of 781 BCF or about 23 per cent of the region's estimated natural gas supply assumptions, a low gas supply and high growth, the projected shortage is 2,555 BCF
depending on supply and growth demands and could suffer shortages of 142 to 338 BCF
In Kansas, natural gas provides 76 per cent of the total industrial energy, 70 per cent of the residential energy and 59 per cent of the commercial energy. Gas accounts for 57 per cent of the total electricity generated.
Even under existing growth patterns and medium supply, the projected shortage is 1,584 BCF or about 39 per cent of the region's demand in 1985.
or more than 50 per cent of the region's demand by 1985.
"The projections for all the Ozarks state, except Oklahoma, show significant and dramatic increases."
The commission said, based on its projections, Arkansas manned 34 of its aircraft and used to alternate fuel by 1885; Kansas 34 to 52 per cent; Louisiana 34 to per cent Missouri 46 to 59 per cent.
"IF NATURAL GAS supplies are inadequate to meet future requirements, the industrial base will be threatened," the report stated. "Substantial unemployment could result unless alternative energy sources are found."
Without substantial switches to alternate fuels, Kansas could incur gas shortage costs.
The report projected that even under the most optimistic circumstances, Kansas' railroad industry would be unchanged.
cant by 185 and supply will fall 146 BCF or 36 per cent short of demand.

"New industrial loads, including expansions, should not be allowed to use gas except when it is technically infeasible to use alternative fuels," the report recommended for Kansas. "If growth of residential-commercial demands is not restricted, existing users may be threatened with curtailments.
