Murray says oil progress outweighs slant-hole scandal
Texas Railroad Commission chairman William Murray Jr. argues conservation saved about 11 percent of a billion barrels of oil since 1942, dwarfing the slanted wells issue. He cites proration, secondary recovery, and gas flaring rules as major gains and notes fewer than one-tenth of a percent of wells are implicated.
