Monthly petroleum production statements, 1937-1946.

Monthly petroleum production statements, 1937-1946.

The series consists of copies of statements summarizing statistical and economic surveys of crude petroleum and refined petroleum products. The statements were produced and distributed by the United States Bureau of Mines (Dept. of the Interior). During wartime, Harold L. Ickes was the bureau's secretary; R.R. Sayers was director. Date stamps show the statements were received by the State Museum during 1949, several years after the final release date of March 1946. This supports the conclusion that the Geological Survey compiled such information on mineral resources for statistical and research purposes.
