Title: Developments in California in 1943

Author(s): Albert I. Gregersen (2), William W. Porter, II (3)

Abstract:

A new high drilling record of 1,429 wells was reached in 1943. One hundred eighty-five wildcat wells were drilled, resulting in 21 new field discoveries. Eighty-six other exploratory wells resulted in 27 new pools and extensions. A disproportionately small reserve was added. Drilling of development wells increased more than 100 per cent over 1942, resulting in a new high record of 1,163 oil wells put on production. The total production of 283,662,445 barrels of oil gave a daily average of 777,166 barrels, a war production increase of 24 per cent over 1941. Exploration activity and wildcat drilling showed a marked upturn.
