Description

Tulsa, Okla.:: Am. Assn. Petroleum Geologists,, 1941.. Hardcover; Hamilton College (NY) bookplate; no card pocket or spine marks/label; spine ends worn; otherwise, condition good.. With b&w maps + charts. Papers read at AAPG 26th annual meeting. Includes reports by Philip S. Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist at USGS--`only one commercial field...a few thousand barrels a year'; Alberta Geologists' update on `Athabaska Tar Sands' & reviews of Colorado & Western States shale oil. ||| These sources, known since at least early 20th-cent., were ignored for cheaper oil pumped from wells. Foreign oil prices & political realities have forced renewed--if grudging-- interest in more expensive sources, though rather generous Government subsidies have helped reduce industry risks.
