BEST OIL METHODS
BEING USED HERE
lBy n. A. Rnrtletil

Wy W. a. BhFtlettD
Last week we proved from state
and Government reports on local oil
development that oil wells in the
past have not been drilled in the
right places, to proper depths, nor
with the best equipment.
The most important factor be-
tween the failure and success OF an
oil test in a new district is the Sc
lection OF the we'll by competent
geologists. The fact is recognized
today by practically all the new com
panies operating or preparing to
drill In the Snake River Valley be-
tween Nampa and Welser, and there
are six or eight OF these companies
backed by the business men and
bankers OF half dozen cities. Nam
pa. Ontario, and Payette companies
have all had competent and exper-
fenced geologIsts in the field, in ad-
dltion TO the valuable field work
done by the State and U. s. Geolog-
jcal Survey. Some OF these COM
panles have been censured because
they did not have two or three wells
already drilling, but when II is un-
derstood that the geological and
structural work must be done first,
In order 20 avoid the mistakes made
in the past. II Ia far better TO take
more time and see that our oil
wells are drilled I'm the right places
and with the best equipment.
The Importance OF geological and
structural study In oil well drilling
In emphasized by Victor Ziegler, au-
thor OF Popular OIL and Geology. m
which he says, I'VE have dwelt
upon the advlsabillty OF employing
petroleum geologists when wild cat
ting. The finding OF oil was for
merly a wild gamble. Nowadays II
need not be. During the exploita-
tlon OF the older American fields,
the ratio OF productive wells TO all
wells drilled was very small; but
science has studied petroleum's gen
esIs and occurrence. and theories
have been evolved and tested In
practice by skilled. educated men
until the factor OF uncertainty In
drilling for natural oil has been
radically reduced and is becoming
smaller all the time.
"It is thoroughly recognized by
every large, successful oil company
A few year ago. during the Wild
