Behind that dependable supply are thousands of Canadians engaged in finding, producing, • transporting, refining and marketing—working with tools that cost hundreds of millions. But the investment in those tools is your guarantee of adequate supply and minimum price. FIRST, the oil must be found. This means expensive equipment and the risking of money in patient search. A single deep test drilling rig is worth half a million dollars and one unsuccessful well in the Alberta foothills has cost more than a million. Then when oil fields are found, they must be developed; just to drill and equip one well in the Leduc field costs about $100,000. . SECOND, crude oil must be transported to a refinery. Tank cars, pipe lines and ocean and lake tankers are the vehicles. A large pipe line ; may cost $100,000 a mile; Imperial's largest tanker, just put into 1 service, cost more than $5 millions. THIRD, the crude oil must be refined into hundreds of useful products. Large and complex refining units are the workman's equipment here. To meet your increasing needs for more and better products Imperial since the war has added refining capacity to process an extra 31,000 barrels per day. The cost was more than $30 millions. FOURTH, the products must be marketed-—this means they must be made available to you when and where you need them. The tools of the marketer are such things as service stations, truck fleets, coastal ships, barges, oil drums and tanks. This equipment, too, adds up to millions. Canadians are using twice as much oil as in J939. To help meet your increasing needs Imperial has sought and found new fields, built ships and pipe lines, erected new refinery units, installed new marketing equipment. It costs more than twice as much to do these things as before the war. s The money we needed to do these things came* from borrowing, from the sale of investments and from earnings put back into the business after paying dividends. This money is helping to provide the tools to bring you all the oil you need—at the lowest possible price. The price of a gallon of gasoline ioday is about the name as lhe price of a gallon of distilled Water. for years before the war the wholesale price of gasoline dropped almost steadily and although it has been caught in the general upswing of costs it has not increased nearly as much as other commodities. Since 1939 the general wholesale price index has more than doubled but the petroleum products price index has advanced by less than twodhirds. On its 1948 operations Imperial earned a profit equivalent to less than one cent a gallon for each gallon of products sold.
