handle is hein.gao/gaobabaac0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Analysis Of Current Trends In U.S. Petroleum And Natural Gas Production Given the realities of the U.S. resource base, it appears that U.S. petroleum and natural gas production will decline steadily through the 1980s, but could be stabilized in the 1990s provided there is reasonable success in new enhanced oil recovery techniques as well as frontier exploration activities. Failure to develop the frontier areas would result in continued declines in U.S. production through the 1990s. While enhanced oil re- covery production will not become signifi- cant until the 1990s, it could, in combina- tion with vigorous development of the fron- tier areas, even provide some limited growth prospects by the end of the century. Prudhoe Bay and the frontier areas will sig- nificantly affect the future trends in U.S. petroleum and natural gas production. For petroleum, frontier production will become critical in the mid-1980s when Prudhoe Bay crude oil production begins to decline steeply. For natural gas, production will continue to decline through the end of the century and not stabilize in the 1990s, unless the pro- posed levels of Prudhoe Bay gas produc- tion can be maintained through the end of the century.
