Warning Against Waste of Oil Resources in 1924
Dr. Julian D. Sears told the fuels division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that the store of oil is not inexhaustible and once extracted is gone. He estimated 1924 crude oil demand at about 803 million barrels with imports near 90 million, while domestic production may drop to 710-729 million barrels. He warned that reserves could be longer than on hand at the start of 1924, and noted inefficiencies in production and use, citing only about 20 percent of original oil remains in the ground when a field is exhausted.
