In January, 1959, t,he United States had a recoverable liquid fossil crude oil reserve Ln an estimated amount of 37 billion barrels. In January, 1963, the United States had an estimated recoverable liquid fossil urude oil reserve in the amount of 35 billion barrels. During this four-year period, 3d estimated total deletion of knovrn recoverable reserve in the amount of 2 billion barrels was experienced at'an average deletion of 500 million barrels per year. The estimated' quantity of equivalent liquid crude oit extracted during this four- year period from United States reserves vras 12 billion barrels. Thus the di""overy of new reserves and improuements in recovery techniques from existing sources accounted for an increase of known recoverable reserves in ah estimated amount of i0 billion barrels for the same four-year period. Assuming the same rate of deletion of recovcrable reserves from existing hydro-carbon sources, thrs countryts liquid fossil crude oil reserves would be exhausted in about seventy years. Thus the quantity of equivalent liquid fossil crude oil in reserve is sufficiently large at this time so as not to'be of an j.mmediate con- cern of exhausEing these known reserves at the present rate of recovery. Therefore, present rates of the deletion of dunestic crude reserves 'would not, at this Eime, add impetus to the oil shale industry by an inunediate concern of Lhe deletion of United SEates reserves..i.: , "' The inability of the domestic petroleum industry to effectively lncrease the produccion race of crucie oi1 from cxisting United SEaEes hydro-carbon sources to satisfy the increasing us'age' ;of hydro-carbon products within the Unitcd States requires thi'further development of oEher s6u'rces of hydro-carbon material.
