Oil price rollback feared by Chicago oil men
Oil leaders warn a second crude price rollback this year would curb industry income and cap investment. Charles E. Spahr of Standard Oil of Ohio cites risks of a $7.55 barrel target, while Maurice F. Granville of Texaco warns a $4 billion annual hit and a need to lift capital spending to $50 billion by 1990 to avoid reliance on costly foreign oil. He notes Texaco plans about $1.8 billion in 1976 expenditures, aiming to sustain production despite price moves. Spahr links price cuts to potential four cent gallon gas drop only if refining capacity and supplies allow.
