Such predictions, however, proved to be incorrect, and instead of a reduction there was a constantly expanding demand for civilian use, whlcn resulted in a record year for the petroleum industry. Crude oil production (including natural gasoline and allied products) •veraged about 5,070,000 barrels daily in 1946. This represented an Increase of approximately 70,000 barrels, or 1.4%, above the daily average in 1945 and was approximately 1,000.000 barrels daily, or 24.5%, above the prewar peak year of 1941, More crude oil was produced and runs to stills were greater in 1946 than in any previous total year and refinery production was at an all-time peak. ^-«CJ?ord-ii118 1° the U* s* Bureau of Mines, stocks holrr® Products) Dec. 31. 1946, aggregated w t represents an increase during 1946 of ?n iince tne close of 1941 of 45,234,000 principally Neches, Texas, 88 miles in length.
