Title: The action is in the US and Canada

Abstract

This article is a summary article of petroleum activity in North America. It is pointed out that there is significant increase in activity in the U.S. and Canada and in general a drop of activity in Mexico. It is projected that U.S. drilling is anticipated to be up 31% over the same period of 1986. In addition, major operators and independents appear to be planning to increase by more than 100% the amount of Wildcat and Off Shore Holes. This significant increase is planned for the Gulf of Mexico area with a record of 625 wells being planned for the second half of 1987. An increase is also shown for Canadian operators but problems are pointed out with regard to natural gas. The article is accompanied by charts showing activity on a state-by-state basis.
