Crude Oil Resource Appraisal in the United States

Noel D. Uri

The Energy Journal, 1980, vol. Volume 1, issue Number 3, 65-74

Abstract: Prior to the Arab oil embargo that began in October 1973, the general feeling was that U.S. oil resources were almost limitless. Certainly there were some who were aware that the rate of crude oil production was falling and costs were increasing, but these perceptions were relegated to the background. Past experience supported the explorer's optimistic outlook concerning potential discoveries. The United States never seemed in danger of being less than the world's foremost producer of crude oil.
