"The provincial government's recent shake-up of its
natural gas administration will ensure that' gas con:
tinue to be an energy bargain for British Columbians,

‘Theluded in the new policy package ‘are pricing
guidelines that will maintain residential gas rates at
levels well below those patd by most other Canadians.

main objective ofthe policy initlative is
to stimulate and revive the ailing natural gas industry.
When we have succeeded in doing that, we will also -
have come some distance towards Teviving the entire
provincial economy.

The natural gas industry is suilering from the effects
of an unexpected glut of of] on world markets. With oil
prices falling, industries have gone back to burning ofl
instead of gas,

‘This has led to severe cutbacks in exports of B.C.
natural gas which, in turn, caused a dramatic reduc
tion in exploration and development, In.1080 there were
$85 gas wells drilled in the province; this year the best
we can hope for is 60.

The government faced three big challenges: to .
develop new markets for our gas, to stimulate explora:

tion and development, and to provide'a mére rational

pricing system.

“Our response to those challenges Js contained tie thie
policy @ecisions I announced. Sept. 15, which will -
reduce the goverament’s regulation of the gas industry
and allow it to operate far more freely thanbefore.:

For the first time, gas producers will be encouraged °
to seek out new customers, both forelgn.and domestic,
Also for the first time, they will be able to sell gas
directly tb selected industrial buyers, without the B. €
Petroleum Corp. acting as middleman, ;

With their new freedom of action, the producers will
be able to move more aggressively to develop new -
marketa. If, for example, a producer wants to sell his
gas ata discount in order to ensure 8 new sale, he will:
be able to do so.

One regult of this change is to improve the chances of
two major projects proposed for British Columbia — a

“quelled natural gas (LNG) plant in the Prince Rupert

area and a fertilizer plant at Powell River, Now that
they can make direct deals ‘with producers, the
backers of these two projects are in a better position to
arrange gas supplles at rates they can live with.

. If one or both of these projecta were to.go ahead, It
would be a shot in the arm for the whole Province, as
wellas the gas industry.

The new pricing structure for natural gas provides a
much-needed measure of price predictabiliy for both
producers and users. In addition It gives the producers
abetter level of 'netback' — the industry's bottom line.
This is vital because B.C. has been unable to compete
for Investment dollars with Alberta, which has offered.

much higher netbacks..

~ Another big step: the old method of collecting provin- |
celal revenue from natural gas, through BCPC, Is
replaced by a direct royalty system that Is flexible
enough to encourage new exploration. For example, .
lower‘ royalties will be charged on gas from new wells
than from long-established wells.

: Together, the new price stability, improved netbacks
and flexible royaltles will help ensure the future health
of the’ gas industry. And only with a healthy industry
can we continue to provide low-cost gas to our residen-
tial consumers,

Ttis patticuiarly ‘gratifying that these major changes
are being carried out by reducing government involve-
njent in the marketplace, rather than increasiing it.

“This is very much in line with the provincial govern-
meént’s philosophy of allowing the private sector to
operate in afree market situation wherever possible. -

The restructuring of the natural gas industry is the |
most important move the government has made in thie |
energy fleld In years, but it.is not the only thing we -
have cooking.
