| Description | Writing to confirm that Gordon MacDonald, Meyerhoff and Gold plan to meet in Washington on Sunday February 25, 9-4. Arthur Kantrowitz may join them. Confirms location.
States the object of the meeting will be to draw up a plan of campaign for advising the Stone Oil Corporation with regard to future drilling for gas. This plan may ask for substantial amounts of geophysical work being done by Stone prior to deciding on precise locations, They should decide on regions which the conventional viewpoint would not make particularly interesting, but where deep faults are overlaid by possibly very ancient but porous rock. Their success would be measured, in the end , not just by having some success in finding gas, but by finding it where it would not have been suspected by most others.
They should perhaps also study whether there are any exhausted oilfields whose deeper underlying strata have not been explored. So asks him to bring any material to the meeting that he thinks they should discuss.
They will also discuss arrangements between themselves, such as possibly setting up a company. It seems possible to Gold that the governments of several countries would wish to consult with them to hear their opinions of chances of gas there. Gold has heard of interest in this respect by Switzerland, Denmark and Israel. |
