Borg, I Y; Stone, R; Puchlik, K P

The assessment of global resources of gas, oil, uranium, and thorium with emphasis on California is presented. The forecasting of depletion is presented for the resources from the historical production data, the estimate of future production, and the size of the total resource available. Detailed data are provided under the following chapters: Methodology; Oil Supplies; Oil Depletion Forecasts; Natural Gas Supplies; Natural Gas Depletion Forecasts; Uranium Supplies; Uranium Depletion; Thorium Supply and Depletion; and finally, a chapter on new work, new appraisals of reserves and undiscovered resources, and new studies on pipeline routes that promise to affect national and state planning.
