The data presented on this site has been compiled from numerous
    National stripper well surveys that have been prepared by the
    Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and the National Stripper
    Well Association from 1941 to the most recent available survey.

     The title of these surveys has changed over the years: "National
    Stripper Well Survey", "Marginal Oil: Fuel for Economic Growth",
    "Marginal Oil and Gas Report", "Marginal Oil and Gas: Fuel for
    Economic Growth" and "Marginal Oil and Gas: American energy for
    the American dream".
