§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will amplify his depletion statement of 6th December 1974 by stating whether a find is to be construed as at the date of the first well on a structure with a hydrocarbon show or one or more tested to give certain flow rates.
§ Mr. VarleyThe expression "find", used in my answer to a Question on 6th December 1974, denotes that oil or gas has been tested in the discovery well at such rates as to suggest the probability of further work proving the existing of a commercial oil or gas field.
