Abstract: Numerous projections of the supply and demand of natural gas have shown thai the United States will soon have a severe shortage. In fact, in the 1972-73 heating season several instances of gas curtailment were reported. Estimates have projected shortages of 7.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) per year in 1980. building up to almost 20 Tcf by 1990- El Paso Natural Gas Companys supply and demand projections indicate that without additional gas supplies our shortages will be 800 MMscf/d by the year 1975. At the present lime El Paso has several projects under way to help meet ihe United States gas demand. The liquefaction of natural gas in Algeria to be transported to the Eastern part of the United Slates has been approved by the Federal Power Commission. The gasification of coal in northern New Mexico to produce 250 MMscf/d of synthetic gas for sale to El Pasos existing customers has been applied for certification from Ihe Federal Power Commission. Several other projects are in various stages of study and development.
