Exploratory drilling in new as well as already tested basins was the highlight of 1985. Thirty-five wildcats were drilled, with 1 discovery being announced. Wells were drilled in the Navarin, Norton, St. George, Shelikof, and North Slope-Beaufort Sea basins. Geophysical activity increased slightly over 1984 but was down to only one-third of the 1982 level. Litigation to invalidate new outer continental shelf sales continued even as wells were being drilled in those basins affected. 1986 should see a dramatic decrease in exploratory drilling as well as in seismic activity. 3 figures, 5 tables.
