200 Millionth Barrel Of Nebraska Oil In 63
Nebraska reached its 200 millionth barrel of crude oil last week as calculated by Ken Monroe secretary of the Nebraska Oil and Gas Association. Since 1938 Nebraska has produced oil starting with 2 000 barrels, with the 100 millionth barrel reached in 1959. The Cedar Valley field in Scotts Bluff County recently added interest to the industry and the state views the discovery as potentially changing the production to discovery ratio.
