1 States or portion of States represented by each district are as follows:
District 1—Eastern Pennsylvania; 
2—Western Pennsylvania; 3 and 6—Northern West Virginia; 4—Ohio;
7 and 8—Eastern Kentucky, Southwestern Virginia, Southern West Virginia,
and North Central Tennessee; 9—Western Kentucky; 10—Illinois;
11—Indiana. 
 
 Cöke.—Coke was produced at five plants, with output of 8.3 million
tons, compared with 8.4 million tons in 1966. About 11.9 million tons of
coal was carbonized at Indiana coke plants. Most of this coal came from Kentucky,
Virginia, and West Virginia; none was mined in Indiana. Most of the coke
produced in Indiana was used in northern Indiana blast furnaces. 
 
 Peat.—Humus, moss, and reed-sedge peat were dug from bogs in seven
counties, principally in the northern part of the State. Peat was used chiefly
for soil improvement. None was sold for use as fuel. 
 
 Petroleum and Natural Gas.—During 1967, five new fields, five extensions
to known fields, and 24 new pools were dis 
covered but added little to the proven oil and gas reserves. Two of the new
fields, 20 of the new pools, and all five extensions produce from Mississippian
formations; three new fields and one new pool produce from Ordovician formations;
and three new pools are in Pennsylvanian formations. 
 The development wells shown in table 14 resulted in 91 oil wells, three
gas wells, and 82 dry holes, and the listed exploratory tests resulted in
32 oil wells, two gas wells, and 236 dry h~ies. 
 Oil produced by secondary recovery 
methods increased by an estimated 243,- 
000 barrels from the previous year. Wells 
drilled for secondary recovery purposes 
totaled 188 and resulted in 44 oil wells, 
128 input, supply, and disposal wells, and 
16 dry holes.
