Oil heat is much more stable, and lacks the explosiveness of natural gas.
Related Questions

Why did some decaying material become coal while other ancient material became oil and natural gas?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Coal was formed from plant debris while natural gas and oil were formed from tiny organisms that settled to the bottom of ancient seas and rivers. Differences in temperatures and pressures, along with the amount of time the organisms decayed underground, typically determined whether oil or natural gas was formed. Generally, where the underground temperature was hotter or the pressures were the greatest, natural gas formed.

We've heard that gas furnaces need less maintenance than oil. Is that really true?

Homeglow Heat Products Frequently Asked Questions
Natural gas furnaces do burn more cleanly, a real advantage over oil because your chimney will never need cleaning, and there's no power burner and no jet to plug up as with an oil furnace. There could be several reasons, such as quality of the unit or its installation, loose sheet metal, incorrect fan speed, or improper furnace sizing. A physical inspection by a professional heating contractor should reveal the source of the noise in most cases.

How safe is natural gas?

Heritage Gas: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Natural gas is one of the safest forms of energy available. Because natural gas is 40% lighter than air, it will dissipate harmlessly into the air in the unlikely event of leak. Heritage Gas adds an odor, similar to the smell of a skunk or rotten eggs, to natural gas so that you’ll quickly know if there’s a problem. This allows even the smallest leaks to be detected, thus enabling repair situations to be identified immediately….your nose is your natural gas leak detector.
