Development and exploration drilling in Kansas reached its greatest volume since 1918. More than 4,000 wells were drilled. Of this number, exploration accounted for 974 wells, discovering 104 oil pools, 4 gas pools, and 81 classified as either extensions or new producing zones in old pools.

Kansas produced 111,034,737 barrels of oil and casing-head gasoline, and 324,261,344 MCF of gas during 1950.

There were no successful wildcats in either Missouri or Iowa. In Nebraska east of the 100th meridian, there were three extensions to the Barada pool and one new-field discovery in Harlan County.
