Expert warns of permanent oil shortage after two years
Pittsburgh June 26 A high ranking Government oil expert Robert E Allen assistant deputy petroleum administrator warned the United States faces a permanent crude shortage within two years unless miraculously prompt discoveries offset declining production. He told the Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil Association that only rapid discovery of new fields and drilling more than 20 000 wells yearly could sustain 1 500 000 000 barrels annually, otherwise foreign imports would be needed and postwar air fleets would compete for fuel with tractors and cars.
