Naomi Van Gilder, Secretary How a new source of oil was tapped t " a The story behind deepwater oil A few year« ago, a test well proved there is oil under the great Continental Shelf that extends out into the G ulf of Mexico, and although the well did not produce much, it started one o f the m ost u nusual— and expensive!—drilling program s in history. So far, in the search for underw ater oil, seven drilling platforms have been built, similar to the one above, as far as 10 miles offshore and in w ater as much as 65 feet deep. They are set on tubular steel pilings driven 250 feet through the ocean’s bo t tom , for they m ust be stro n g enough to w ith stan d G ulf hurricanes. The story behind this operation is the story o f risk ... and o f determ ination to do everything possible to find oil for the grow ing needs o f motorists, farms and industries. Each underw ater field costs millioQS o f dol lars more than any of equal size drilled on land, and although oil has been found, not enough has been produced yet to repay m ore than a small fraction of the costs. Meanwhile, the m<5ney being risked is creating many jobs, spreading to hundreds o f large and small businesses . . . and help ing to keep our economy free, competitive and strong.
