MICHAEL nodded obedfendybat.
Ill there was a faraway look in his

LEOTARD TIGHTS
oversupply,
The industry enters 1961, how
ever, with idle crude productive
capacity in excess of 3 million
barrels a day,
Year-end forecasts also indicate
a slowdown in the growth rates
of demand for crude and petrole-
um products will continue another
three to five years.
An over-all demand gain of 4
to 5 per cent had been forecast
for I960, The final figure may^ be
loss than 2 per cent. Gasoline,
with a surprising July-September
slump, was jbe"major laggard.
Curtailed -crude production con-
tributed to major progress in 1960
in cutting surplus inventories and
in strengthening depressed prices
of crude and products made from
crude.
Failure of demand to reach an-
ticipated levels, however, caused
serious slowdowns.
Exploratory activity designed to
find new oil reserves was down
about 12 per cent. Well comple-
tions were down-about 9 per cent
and the 1960 total may be the low-
est since 1952.
Efforts early in the year to re-
duce excess products inventories
were aggravated by record level
operations by refineries,
The over-all 1960 situation
prompted renewed emphasis
programs designed to reduce costs
and improve efficiency.
The new year, however, may
bring increased labor costs to re-
finers. Several major companies
by mid-December had offered to
meet union demands by granting
a 5 per cent wage increase. Such
hikes at refineries normally are
passed on to employes in other
segments of the Industry,
Crude production in 1960 aver-
aged about 7,020,000 barrels a
day, compared to 7,034,000 in 1959,
6.710.000 in 1958, and a record
7.170.000 in 1957.
Early forecasts indicate a 1961
gain of only 1 to Ilk per cent.
supplier of more than 35 per cent
of the nation’s crude, was a ma-
jor contributor to the cutback.
The state’s 1960 crude production
allowables totaled only 104 calen-
dar days, compared to 126 in 1959,
122 in 1958, and 171 in 1957.
Domestic crude prices in 1959
dropped 9 cents a barrel to
$3.03 average. The 1960 drop was
only 3 cents, with November
prices averaging $3.
Wholesale products prices were
firmer, averaging $3.94 a barrel
In November, compared to a year
earlier $3.78 and a 1959 average
of $3.87.
Only about 46,000 well comple-
tions were indicated for 1960. The
1959 total of 50,924 compared with pletlon tax allowance.
In 1956.
Congress took little action or
oil and gas matters in 1960. Prac-
tically the same problems—im-
ports controls, natural gas price
regulation, depletion tax allow-
ance, (Snd gasoline taxes—will be
before the new Congress and new
administration in 1961.
Industry spokesmen, however,
claimed two major victories ir
1960.
A price coaspiraey anti-trust
suit against 18 companies was
dismissed without defenge testi-
mony in federal court in Tulsa,
Okla., in February.
On June 20 the U.S. Senate, by
a 56-30 vote, refused to reduce
the industry’s 27% per cent die-
