Discovery Drop Alarming Says Oil Official
Jerome O'Brien of the Interior Department told the Southwestern Federation of Geological Societies that U S oil and gas discoveries fell from 3089 in 1956 to 1970 in 1961 while exploratory wells declined from 16207 to 10992 by 1961. He warned continued low discovery rates would require drilling 17000 wells annually to sustain reserves, though capacity remains strong.
