tons more than Sa 1939. In 1950 th.e production of netrol..~u:n xiii oatisfy the siiF~-

erro., for Bosanaki Broil?] and Sheli refineries in Sisak. The entire capaci,y aC L'.::
Slavonski Broil and Sisak refineries xas 140,000 tons. TLe occupation forces dest.tl~yl:i
all the petroleum machinery.
Since the wa: Yugoslavia hsa opened txo petroleum fields iu Croatia, at the
iCutina and at the Ler3ava rivers. A;.most every xell drilled has yielded vetroleum.
Because of the success of the drillings, a third field has nox heeu opened in the
vicinity of Zacreb.
Besides finding petroleum in Slavonia, in the Medjimurje, and 1.. Bosnia,
geologists have also found it in the Banat. Southern lla'mati.a, the Montenegrin
Primorje, and Macedonia are beigg surveyed for oil. By 1947 Yugoslavia rras able
to reconstruct the oil refineries in Bosanski Broil, Sisak, and Rijeka, xhich xez?e
Sompletely destroyed by the occupation forces. In the first half of 1949, 4$ per-
cent morn oil vsa refined than Yugoslavia impcrted in the entlre year 1939.
In addition to oil fields, natural gas deposits are nox be'ng exploited.
Yugoslavia has about 40 such deposits: 20 in Croatia, 6 in the Banat, 5 in the
Hacks, 3 in tht vicinity of Belgrade. The rest are in the Sava, Morava, and Drina
valleys.
