turn their eyes up this way, at the

with oil producers is well re-

This expansion of oil exploration
is even now evident in some sec
tions of the nation. The Pacific
Northwest, the east coast In the
vicinity of New Jersey and Mary
land, and South Carolina and
Georgia are right now ranking
high in the interests of oil men.
Test wells are either planned or
are actually drilling in each of the
areas. Florida and Alabama have
each become oil producing states
in recent years, and the expansion
of wildcat activity is expected to
prove commercial oil reserves In
other states.
During the war years, the search
for new oil fields was retarded by
three limiting factors One of these
was the restrictions on oil-field
equipment These restrictions have
now been removed and the neces-
sary equipment is beginning to
flow into the petroleum industry
The lack of experienced oil men also
hampdred operations. The most
serious restriction has been frozen
price on crude oil, SO low that oil
operators could seldom afford to
venture into new territory regard
less of how favorable the prospects
might appear.
The first of these three restric-
tive factors is rapidly being over

price, however, is still being held
at the subnormal, prewar level. and

the price regulation is removed

Another factor which lends sup
port to the trend is the high rate
of production that was essential to
keeping the nations war machine
