ABILENE (AP) — The future for
American’s independent oilmen
may be “down under” says a West
Texas oilman who plans to drill on
what he calls Prudhoe-style possibili
ties in Australia.
“Australia is vast, unexplored and
has a stable government. Oil and gas
exploration is just getting under way
there, and there are only a handful
of independents working there,”
says Bill Tindell, an Abilene geolog
ist and former chairman and chief
executive officer of Abilene-based
Westico Energy Co. He calls Austra
lia one of the few places left where
an independent oilman can “roll the
dice on something big.”
Tindell, along with a group of in
dependents from three states, is pre
paring to explore a 7,344,000-acre
drilling concession which was re
cently awarded to the group by the
state of Queensland, Australia. In
size, the drilling concession is equiva
lent to almost 20 percent of the Per
mian Basin.
Beginning in April, the oilmen
from Texas, Oklahoma and Illinois
will drill wildcats on five of 13 sub
surface structures identified as po
tential oil producers within the con
cession. The subsurface structures
were identified by Landsat satellite
imagery and later confirmed by
magnetic surface mapping.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — President
Miguel de la Madrid returned home
Sunday from a trip to Sweden where
he attended a meeting of the Group
of Six, formed to promote peace and
disarmament.
He also held talks with Swedish
Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson and
with Prime Minister Mario Soares in
Lisbon during a stopover en route to
Stockholm.
In an interview with the Mexican
television network Imevision before
returning, de la Madrid said he sug
gested that Sweden help Mexico in
crease its exports to other countries,
as well as to Sweden.
“The Swedish have good technol
ogy. In Mexico there are conditions
that give us advantages for being an
export bridge, fundamentally for
Latin America and the United
States,” he said.
He said Swedish officials agreed
to explore the possibility.
The Group of Six, which was
holding its third meeting, welcomed
the disarmament agreement be
tween the United States and the So
viet Union, but noted that it is a lim
ited accord that affects only 5
percent of the atomic weapons of the
two countries, de la Madrid said.
The leaders also discussed the
possibility that steps toward nud
disarmament could lead to ant
crease in conventional weapons a
the need to use the money savcdij
disarmament on economic da
opment.
In addition to de la Madrid
Carlsson, Primer Ministers
Gandhi of India and Andreas
pandreou of Greece and for®
President Julius Nyerere of Taitf
nia attended the meeting of ^
Group of Six.
President Raoul Alfonsin of A
gentina also is a member but coni
not attend because of military prd'
lems in his country.
