Possible Future Oil Provinces of the United States and Canada

Abstract

THE authors of this symposium, in their review of possible additional sources of oil in Canada and the United States, are not concerned with the discovery of single fields or leases, nor yet with extensions of existing fields. Rather are they grappling with the problem of discovery of reserves in areas as yet only partly explored and in which there is every prospect of finding, not one pool, but many pools, sufficiently large to be of significance in assessment of the nation's total reserves.
