Oil In Alaska
Has Great Future
Speaker States
“One of the things you can look
forward to is the importance of oil
in the future of Alaska,” stated
Herb Hilscher of Anchorage, who
spoke to members of the Rotary
Club present at the meeting of
that group Tuesday.
Hilscher, author of two books on
Alaska, and prominent in oil ac
tivities on the mainland, outlined
briefly the history of oil in Alaska,
from the time the first producing
well was discovered in 1910, to
present operating wells in the
Kenai and wildcat operations else
where.
Interest in seeking oil in Alaska
slacked off in the intervening
years from the time of its first
discovery, according to Hilscher,
until in 1942, when Bill Poran, a
noted geologist, was commissioned
by the Navy to make a study of
Alaskan oil potentials. Drilling
followed in the Kobuk area, and
later on the Kenai. The speaker
also traced the history of some of
the wildcat operations in other
parts of the State, notably in the
Susitna area and near Yakatat. In
the latter operation, he said, sev
eral large oil companies, including
Colorado Oil and Gas, British Pe
troleum, Sinclair and others are
interested.
“No one can tell where the next
big strike will be,” Hilscher said.
He predicted a new development
in the very near future. The poten
tials of the Kenai are recognized
by the big companies, he said. Gas
reserves there are greater than all
their wells in the U. S., he stated.
Alaska has two big hopes in its
future. One is the rejuvenation of
its fisheries, which he said, has
every indication of success. He
praised the efforts of ADF&G in
the control of the fisheries this
year. The second, he said, was the
development of the State’s oil po
, tential.
Ivor Schott, Magazine chairman,
gave a review of articles in the
September issue of The Rotarian.
Among visitors present at the
meeting were Cdr. Dick Stacer,
Gary Emard, Herb Hilscher, Wally
Aiken and new student member
Bob Richmond.
Damp coffee grounds make a
sweeping compound which will
keep the dust down. Also will
leave rugs clean.
