ABSTRACT
The total well footage drilled in the Rocky Mountain region increased in 1946 as compared with 1945 due to the active development of the Rangely field in northwestern Colorado. Footage drilled in Wyoming and Montana in 1946 was less than that drilled in 1945.
Oil production increased in Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado in 1946 as compared with 1945. The production increase in Colorado was 235 per cent due to the rapid development in the Rangely field.
There were more discoveries in 1946 than in 1945 and several of them were of considerable importance.
