Oil output at ten-year low as drilling rises
The American Petroleum Institute reports domestic crude production at its lowest point in a decade despite higher drilling to tap new reserves. For January through October 1975 output averaged 7.955 million barrels daily, with 8.034 million for the first ten months, and exploration activity reaching the highest rig count since 1963. Gas wells fell slightly while oil well completions rose, and overall demand for petroleum products remained below pre embargo levels though gasoline and kerosene jet fuel grew.
