Texas oil production in 1950 was estimated at 352 million barrels, with the Railroad Commission predicting 1951 will exceed all prior totals. Chair William J. Murray Jr noted 1950 rose about 212 million barrels from 1945, and that when including hydrocarbon liquids, 1950 approached the 1948 peak. He warned that material shortages in 1951 could slow development, stressing the need for continued reserves and domestic production for national security, while noting a new all-time 1950 gas and oil total of 3.913 trillion cubic feet.
