The oil and gas consumption analysis for 1977 and 1978 is presented to update the 1978 report entitled Oil and Gas Consumption in Alaska: 1976 to 2000. Data for all consumption categories are provided for 1977, and transportation fuels and natural gas statistics are presented. The amount of fuel consumed for power generation and heating uses has not yet been tabulated by the Department of Energy, the primary source for petroleum liquids data. Natural gas consumption continues to increase, in 1977 by 36.7% and in 1978 by 18.9%. Gas consumption for power generation in 1977 increased by 10.2% and virtually remained constant through 1978. Residential/Commercial Consumption increased by 11.3% and 9.6% for the respective years. Industrial consumption grew by 60% in 1977 and 28.2% in 1978, with the greatest increase occurring in the amount of natural gas consumed during petroleum production. Petroleum liquids consumption decreased by 6.1% from 1976 to 1977. Declines occurred in each major category. Consumption of oil products for power generation decreased by 12.5%, heating by 0.2% and transportation fuels by 6.5%. Transportation fuels experienced mixed gains and losses with marine gasoline consumption increasing by 8.5%, marine diesel by 24%; aviation gasoline increasing by 21.7% and jet fuel decreasing by 6.8%; highway gasoline showed an increase of 1.8% and diesel decreased by 22.6%. In 1978, transportation fuels consumption decreased by 2.9%. Marine gasoline increased by 18.8%, marine diesel grew by 13%. Aviation gasoline decreased by 10.1% while jet fuel increased by 1.5%. Highway gasoline and diesel decreased by 7.4% and 2.9%, respectively.
