Abstract:
The number of exploratory tests drilled in 1949 exceeded that of the previous year by 27.5 per cent, and successful new-field wildcats increased by 12.5 per cent; development drilling decreased. Especially significant was a pronounced increase in proportion of pre-Permian discoveries, together with a decrease in new fields on the Central Basin platform. Seismograph discoveries of new fields were double those of subsurface discoveries.
The outstanding development of the year was the expansion of reef-limestone production in Scurry County, where existing fields were greatly extended and new fields discovered. New pre-Permian fields in Lea County, an important Ellenburger discovery in Upton County, and a new Permian pay zone were notable.
It is anticipated that the heightened interest in reef-limestone production will accelerate progress in related stratigraphic and lithologic studies.
