ABSTRACT
Although no new fields were discovered during 1946, there was considerable activity in both proved and wildcat territory. At the Barker Creek dome two additional deep gas wells were completed and a desulphurizing plant was built. Fifteen gas wells completed in the Fulcher Basin field established its continuity with the Kutz Canyon field. The Estancia Valley carbon-dioxide field was abandoned, but additional development in the Bueyeros area was started.
Two dry holes were completed in Arizona and ten in northern New Mexico. Five of these reached the pre-Cambrian. Intense geophysical, geological, and leasing activity centered in the San Juan basin.
Twelve publications on parts of the region appeared, in which large areas were mapped and discussed and a number of new stratigraphic names were presented.
