More Texas Drilling Helps Gas Situation
By H.B. (Hank) hrkins, President,
Texas Mid-Continen$il & Gas Association
The effect of federal price controls and uncon-
trolled prices on drilling and development in Texas
is reflected in the latest estimates of the state's
natural gas and crude oil reserves:
Texas' natural gas reserves did not drop as fast
last year as they have annually during the past
decade. The rate of decline for the 2.5-trillion cubic
feet (Tcf) drop in 1977 was 3.8-percent. That com-
pares with an annual average decline of 9.2-percent
in the four previous years.
But, crude oil reserves last year dropped 759-
million barrels — some nine-percent — compared
with a six-percent average annual decline during
the previous six years.
Appraisals by the American Petroleum Institute
and the American Gas Association list slightly less
than 8.5-billion barrels of crude oil and approxi
mately 62 2-Tcf of natural gas in Texas' fields at
the end of last year.
As the free market price for natural gas produced
and sold for use in Texas increased in the 1973-1977
period, Texas producers responded with increased
drilling. They set a new gas well completion record
every year in an effort to meet demand. By the
March-May quarter of 1977, Texans were using'
nearly 68-percent of the state's natural gas pro-
Iduction. •
The average price of intrastate gas went from!
14-cents per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) in January,]
1973, to an average price of $1.04 per Mcf in the,
March-May, 1977, quarter. In 1974, producers in;
Texas made 1,843 gas well completions; in 1975,,
:2,135; in 1976, 2,443, and last year, 3,064. ;
In contrast to the free market that exists for intra- j
state gas, about 90-percent of Texas' crude oil pro-!
Auction remains under federal price controls. Only;
^production from stripper wells, those yielding 10 !
jbarrels or less of oil per day, is exempt. j
The higher price allowed for so-called "new" or'
Jupper tier oil helped stimulate drilling for oil last;
I year. The oil well completion total o* 6,533 was the «
highest in 13 years. But, this was far short of the I
annual average of more than 11,000 completions'
during the 1950s, when reserves averaged 14.7-1
: billion barrels. ;
As Texans look toward their future energy needs, ■
which must be satisfied from today's oil and gas [
I reserves, they are seeing a demonstration of the <
[ power of the economic incentive provided by a free ;
market. Oil men expect a turnaround in energy sup- •
plies when Congress learns this lesson.
