Finding Big Profit Oil Field Difficult
Charles J. Deegan, a consultant geologist of Fort Worth, Texas, told the American Association of Petroleum Geologists meeting that only about 134 of nearly 10,000 oil fields have been big profit makers. He urged more research to identify geological differences that create spotty fields and said increasing the share of big fields to about four percent could cut commercial oil costs by roughly half, noting wells cost 59,000 to 500,000 dollars depending on region. He warned against expecting scientific luck to dramatically boost prospects.
