312. Memorandum of Conversation

eir estimation this should take place sometime between 1965 and 1970, which is similar to the view currently expressed by the large American oil companies. In this connection, they informed me they had recently found substantial quantities of oil in Nigeria. Nine out of their last ten wildcats in this region had been producers. While the Nigerian oil discovery was not in anything like Middle Eastern quantities they felt that they had upwards of 1 billion barrels of oil, which after usual development efforts should produce 300 or 400 thousand barrels a day.
