Title: Developments in Eastern Canada in 1956

Author(s): W. D. Brittain (2), J. D. McAlary (3)

Abstract:

During 1956 both exploratory and development drilling increased 10% in southwestern Ontario over the previous year. Production of oil amounted to 593,400 bbls., an increase of 13% over 1955, while gas production showed a marked increase of 21% over 1955 for a total of 13,120,000 MCF. One of the more significant discoveries in southwestern Ontario was located in Huron County where sizeable quantities of gas were found in a Guelph reef.

In the St. Lawrence Lowlands an increase of exploratory activity in the form of wildcat wells and slim hole drilling highlighted this area, and a small gas discovery was made in the Trenton rocks of Ordovician age in the L'Assomption area north of the city of Montreal. An interesting showing of gas was also located in the Silurian ? rocks in the Gaspe area.
