Total oil production in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee in 1973 was 45 million bbl, down 11.9% from 1972. Tennessee had a very slight increase/ all the other states had decreases. Gas production in Kentucky was 69.7 billion cu ft in 1973, down 7%. Gas production in the other states is not significant. A total of 1,524 oil and gas tests was drilled in 1973, down 11.4% from 1972. Exploratory tests totaled 565, only 4 tests fewer than in 1972. Of these, 85 (15%) were successful. Tennessee had 98 oil and gas tests in 1973, up 4.6% from 1972. Illinois had 556 oil and gas tests in 1973, down 7.8% from 1972. Indiana had 139 exploratory wells (8 more than in 1972) and 100 development wells in 1973. A total of 631 oil and gas tests was drilled in Kentucky in 1973. Of 164 exploratory tests drilled, 34 were successful (20.7%).
