Austria is the second most important oil producing country in the Ebr"opern
Sete' li.te rroar, All of the known oil fields are located nortlieast of Vienna in
the Soviet Zoe of Occupation? E.'he ruest important development in Austria since
orld Jar 11 has been the ope iir of the 1;:aatzon oil fields by the SLW r,a whore a z ich
strike was reportedly made in 1'ebr=uary 1949, As a result of this discovery
Austrian crude *a1 output has risen from lm2 a1lliozi tons in 1949 ix an esti tc.d
2a4 million tons in 1951, This trend is expected to continue with Matzen more
than compensat .g for the drop in produc Lion at the. older fields. The wells at
Matzen were reported in early Liarch 1951 to have a daily output of 4,OCO tons.br.t
limited storage and refining facilities forced the Soviets to limit preductioa
temporarily to 3,200 tons per 24-hour period. 7/ Lore recent reports indicate the
