From the foregoing 1t is apparent that it takes time and a great deal of mon ey to develop an oil field to the point of commercial significance.
 Even so, we've been making rapid progress in Alaska. Already some oil has been trucked from the Swanson River field to Seward for shipment to California for refining. Construc- ton of a pipeline to the sea for faster, more economical transport must wait until enough additional oil lat least 6sS)O i1arrcis a day) can be produced to justify tic huge expense.
 Additions wells are being drilled. And as more producing oil wells are brought in, the impact of oil on Alaska's economy will grow. Alaskan contractors will be awarded jobs whenever practical. As communities grow, stores and services will create additional payrolls-
 The benefits of an oil industry here will be shared by all Alaskans. If pro duction expands, as we hope, royalty payments to Alaska will increasingly help bear financial burdens of the young state Eventually, as Alaska's population grows. refinery may De necessary to supply home produced oil products for Alaska's needs

 Now, the prospects are promising. But we've learned from experience that it's long, hard, expensive way from discovery well to a producing oil field. This is just as true in Texas, California or Canada as it is on the Kenai Peninsula. To understand why, it's necessary to know something about oil fields. The first step is to answer the question ..

"Spudding in" Cor starting to drill) "wildcat" is a rough and expensive project anywhere. Roads must be built, heavy equipment must be trans ported long distances, sizeable crews must be housed and supplied. Terrain and climate in Alaska make the job especially rugged.
 Today drilling is almost always done by rotary equipment. Big diesel engines spin lengths of drill pipe at tached to a toothed, rotating drill bit. As the bit chews deeper into rock, additional 90 foot lengths of pipe are added to the string.
 Many such lengths are used, for a well may probe anywhere from few hundred to many thousands of feet into the earth. In Alaska, wells have gone nearly 21a miles deep.
