Hearings were held in executive session on the amounts of natural gas available for delivery to interstate pipelines. Six witnesses from Getty Oil Co., Tenneco Oil Co., and Tennessee Gas Transmission Co. spoke under subpoena. Testimony and questioning were concerned with estimates of accelerated depletion times of oil fields. These new figures were based on a slower production rate caused by declining bottom hole pressure. Estimates of total amounts of recoverable gas have also declined. Older fields might be conserved by slowing gas removal. Internal recommendations for rate well studies to help time depletion of specific reservoirs have not been followed by oil companies. (DCK)
