Industry seeks price relief to prevent drilling curbs
Davies told the House Committee that a decision on the industry fee increase would prompt a Price Administration recommendation for a price structure revision. He noted that without financial relief, exploration for new wells would be curtailed and many marginal stripper wells could shut down, with higher crude costs passed to consumers as production costs and taxes rise. The testimony referenced volatile crude markets and a volcanic eruption in the New Hebrides.
