 More than 97 percent of the total mineral value was attributed to the output
of mineral fuels and related products. Petroleum was produced in 64 counties
and natural gas was produced in 66 counties. The oil and gas occurred in
a wide zone extending from the northeastern to the western and southwestern
sections of the State. Helium was extracted from natural gas in Cimarron
County. Nonmetals were produced in 58 counties, mostly in the 
northeast, north-central, and central parts of the State and in the Arbuckle
and Wichita Mountains in the South. Output of metals was confined to Ottawa
and Jackson Counties. 
 
 Employment and Wagcs.—The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission
reported mineral industry employment was 41,400 persons in 1967, of which
39,600 were in oil and gas drilling and production.
