Weinier, consultant from Golden, Colo. Weinier said that recent important oil discoveries in south-central Wyoming emphasize the great potential of the "Mesaurdc" in western Colorado and Wyoming, the major obstacles in these areas being drilling depths and dilficully in locating and predicting trends of the barrier island sandstones in the search for petroleum. Graham S.

Lawton of the Shell Oil Company, Casper, described the strata and drilling activity in the Dead Horse Creek Field in Campbell County. Scheduled today will be talks given by Walter M.

The conlercnce's keyitote address as given by A. F. Barrett of tlie Mobil Producing Company, Hillings, who on "The Rocky Mountain Oil Industry, A Review iif the Past, as a Guide to the Future." Barrett emphasized three factors, economies, technological advance and government action, as being of prime importance in the progress bf finding oil and gas in the Rocky Mountain area. These factors rather than the ability of the geologist to fiivd new fields will continue to be vital considerations in the futuie the oil industry, Barrett said. Continued progress for a short torn outlook in the Rockies looks Barrett said, but a defi that was lormerly easy to Imd is no longer readily accessible and (lie challenge is to locale and develop these new oil reserves at a profit-wise cost so as to support continued exploration.

George S. Buchanan, national president of the AAI'G, urged more cooperative ellorts among companies in exploratory drilling. He also made convention announcements and introduced executive members of the association. "Recent Developments in the Fractured Reservoirs in the Rocky Mountains' was the subject of a talk by William R. Speer of tlie El Paso Gas Producing Company, Farmington, New Mexico.
