With respect to the vital work of maintaining and increasing much needed petroleum reserves within the continental United States, the Southeast is intriguing because it has been under-explored for many years at the expense of far more promising areas such as the Gulf Coast. While critics may contend that the overall geology of the Southeastern United States is unfavorable for commercial accumulations of hydrocarbons, the occurrence of the oil seeps in Georgia and the oil and gas shows reported in wells drilled in North Carolina, suggests otherwise. This volume introduces new evidence and compiles and re-examines data which argues for increased oil and gas exploration in the region.

Combines an account of Texas oil and gas production between 1970 and 1995 with a technical analysis that incorporates realities from petroleum geology into a modern econometric model. After estimating equations for exploratory drilling, reserve additions, and production, the response of the complete model to a change in the price of a barrel of oil is simulated. These simulations show that drilling is moderately responsive to changes in price, but reserve additions are not, because of diminishing returns to exploratory activity. Of interest to those in the oil and gas industry, and as an example of applied econometric modeling at the industry level for professional economists and graduate students.
