Abstract

Public interest in petroleum and natural gas possibilities in Alaska continued to increase in 1954. Most of the activity centered in southern Alaska, though the Koyukuk basin in western interior Alaska also received attention. Exploratory drilling was conducted at five sites in southern Alaska by four companies. Geophysical exploration consisted of seismograph surveying by one company and partial surveys of the major basins in Alaska with airborne magnetometer by the United States Geological Survey. Six company parties and two United States Geological Survey parties conducted surface geologic investigations during the field season. Leasing activity continued brisk.
