Exploratory and development drilling in E. and NW. Colorado in 1971 was up from 1970 and Colorado was the most active state in the Rocky Mt. area. Colorado oil production was up more than 4%. Significant exploratory wells were completed in the Denver Basin, North Park Basin, Sand Wash Basin, and on the Las Animas arch. Development drilling, up substantially from 1970, was highlighted by extensive development programs in Wattenberg, Peoria, Hombre, and Rangely fields. In the region as a whole, total wells completed increased from 693 in 1970 to 1971, an increase of approx. 32% from the previous year. As a consequence, Colorado was the most active state in the Rocky Mt. region for the first time since 1956.
