Tekaco's 1949 net profit was the second largest in its history, not¬
withstanding the industry-wide easing of supply and the leveling-off in
demand which resulted in substantially lower prices for most products,
particularly residual fuel oil and middle distillates.
,* The company's total volume of sales of petroleum products in 1949
was the highest on record, and refinery runs also reached a new high.
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.
In addition,
