Domestic crude oil production was about 7% lower than in 1948, principally because of state conservation orders and lower demand for crudes producing large percentages of residual fuels. Drilling activities were also reduced during the year. Nevertheless, Texaco's proved underground crude ml and natural gas reserves gained sub¬ stantially in 1949 and, at the year's end, were the highest in the company's history. The company spent about $207,000,000 in 1949 to complete the major part, of its pbstwar expansion and modernization program. This involved new and improved refinery facilities, additional marine equip¬ ment, new pipe lines, and substantial amounts for discovering new crude oil reserves.
