Oil imports and exports mock Texas oil outlook
Texas railroad commissioner General Ernest O Thompson warned that Britain floods the U S with its oil while restricting American exports, threatening national welfare and security. He cited 1949 half-year imports averaging 680 000 barrels daily and exports 290 000, with domestic capacity 6 380 000. Texas producers bore the brunt as income fell and drilling slowed, risking shift to foreign oil.
