Title: Developments in Southeastern States in 1958

Author(s): F. B. St. John, Jr. (2), Tracy W. Lusk (3)

Abstract:

The southeastern states showed a 10% increase in seismic activity, a 27% decrease in gravity meter, and a 27% decrease in core-drill activity during 1958. Combined activity of these categories, however, was up slightly over 1957. The total number of exploratory tests drilled in 1958 decreased only slightly compared with 1957, although the percentage of successful completions was slightly higher. Production in Alabama increased somewhat due to intensive outpost and subsequent development drilling. Oil production in Mississippi increased slightly as a result of the rapid development of new Upper Cretaceous fields.
