Gas and oil production in E. Canada declined slightly during the year. Gas production in 1967 was 14,366,311 Mcf, a decrease of 1,271,487 Mcf. Oil production was 1,248,642 bbl, a decrease of 81,975 bbl. In SW. Ontario, both exploratory and development drilling increased slightly. Only 6 Cambrian wells were drilled, compared with 19 in 1966. Exploratory drilling resulted in 14 gas discoveries, all Silurian. No oil discoveries were made. Activity offshore in Lake Erie was very strong in 1967. Thirty-two wells were drilled in the lake resulting in 7 gas discoveries. In the Hudson Bay lowlands, industry and government completed 37 crew-months of geologic and geophysical work. An exploratory hole was completed to the Precambrian. The Quebec government reported 20 crew-months of geologic surveying in the sedimentary area of the province. In the Atlantic region, 4 exploratory tests were reported from New Brunswick. Offshore holdings increased from 169,543,939 acres in 1966 to 240,219,468 acres in 1967. Industry completed 24 crew-months of geophysical work and 1 deep test on Sable Island. (93 refs.)
