Ed Foran, an oil and gas engineer, testified before the Texas House oil and gas committee that gas stripping has caused the Panhandle field to lose 200 million barrels of oil to higher formations. He cited a total production of 220 million barrels already, with potential for 250 million more if stripping stops. He compared Panhandle to East Texas, estimated original oil in place at 800 million to 1 billion barrels, and said five stripping plants account for 65 percent of current gas waste, with about 1.3 billion feet of gas vented daily.
