THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF OREGON 
673 
 
 Petroleum.—Two companies filed application with the Bureau of Land
Management to lease gas and oil rights on public domain. Both were approved.
Standard Oil Co. of California applied for 11,000 acres of 0 & C lands
in the southcentral part of Columbia County and in northeastern Washington
County. Mobil Oil Co. requested several thousand acres of land in Coos and
Douglas Counties. Standard, Mobil, and Texaco, Inc., also were active in
private leasing in Columbia and Washington Counties. Total acreage involved
in the leasing was approximately 
50,000. 
 The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries had four drilling
per- 
mits in effect. Only the one issued in 1967 to William Craig of Tacoma, Wash.,
was active, and it was covered under the natural gas heading. 
 Offshore activity was limited to one hole drilled to a depth of 6,146 feet
by Shell Oil Co. for Pan American Petroleum Corp. and others (Atlantic-Richfield,
Sinclair, Superior, Canadian Superior, and J. Ray McDermott). The hole, located
about 10 miles off Coos Bay, was tested and had a show of oil and gas. 
 Federal offshore acreage leased by oil companies dropped from 580,800 for
1965 to 385,000 for 1966 to 64,000 for 1967. The two offshore State lease
parcels were also canceled in December.
