Oil Co Official Sees Room for Competition in New England
Hemisphere Oil Co, the North American arm of International Oil, says the six state New England heating oil market has wide open room for newcomers. John O'Neil, East Coast marketing coordinator, notes a wide differential between wholesale Boston Harbor oil prices and consumer prices, plans to expand operations, and will discharge the first cargo from Hemisphere's Belgium refinery into Boston storage this week. He argues New England should be integrated into a U S petroleum operation and calls for sale of foreign trade zone refined oil locally. Senators urge Machiasport subzone and foreign trade zone oil sales to ease prices, accusing major firms of market power and captive markets in New England.
