Oil imports and gas price controls dominate IPAA meeting
Policy committees of the Independent Petroleum Association of America begin deliberations in Biloxi with 7000 members as debates focus on oil import procedures and federal control of wellhead gas prices. Resolutions aim to pressure Congress for relief and clarity on authority of the Federal Power Commission and Interior Department programs. The slump in drilling and exploration drives calls for a reversal. The Supreme Court ruling is a major pending issue for natural gas policy discussions.

Energy future hinges on coal and shale fuels say industry leaders
Kerr-McGee chairman A McGee told the American Association of Petroleum Geologists to diversify beyond oil. He warned petroleum geologists will be vital for discovering and profiting from secondary fuels such as coal, oil shale, and nuclear power. An expert predicted synthetic oil from oil shale within years and gas from coal reaching price parity with crude oil by 1980.
