Another We'll
For Campbell

The Lincoln we'll, in 1O-35-3 w,
was brought at late hour today at
a depth of 1900 feet after drilling
twenty feet through a hard cap
rock. We are not able to report at
this time just what the capacity OF
this well will be, but it is reported
that it is a good we'll and will prob
ably come up with the Black Magic.
1t is also reported that after clean
ing the well oil rose in the casing
$50 feet.
The Goeddertz well, in 2o-35-
3 w, is expected in at any moment,
this we'll has had considerable trOu-
bic with caye-ins but that has been
overcome by underreaming and
drilling is again in progress.

Kevin Oil Out
10 Refinery

The first oil from the Kevin-
Sunburst field to go to the refin-
cry will b e taken Wednesday
when two carloads will be loaded
at the Illinois Pipe Line loading
racks, for the American Refinery
company of Great Falls.
The oil is being purchased by
the refinery from the Ohio Oil
company, the price being quoted
at $1.5O, including 20 cent pipe
line and loading charge to the
barrel.
With this price, the oil is de-
livered to Great Falls at S2.93 a
barrel, compared with 1924 on
Salt Creek crude, whose field
price is 70 cents a barrel.
Great Northern officials will
take an active part in the plans
for the shipment of crude to the
refinery from the. northern field
and the tank cars will be decora-
ted with signs telling of the
significance of the first CONNER
cial shipmenn.

After visit to the Hogan we'll
in section 22-35-2 W., Ford said
that it is now flowing at the rate
Of about 450 barrels a day. This
is not to the capacity of the we'll
in his estimation. He said that
he bell we'd the we'll to be capa-
BILE of a production Of 600 to 700
barrels a day and possibly as high
as 1 900 barrels.
He would make no prediction of
the probable life of the wells in
the field. He pointed out that if
the wells pay f CIR themselves
during the period of heavy pro-
duction, a flow of a few barrels
after that time would still be a
commercial proposition since pro
duction cost would be low.

Kevin Crude Set
al Seventy Cents

The price of crude from the
Kevin-Sunburst field has been
set at 20 cents a barrel, accord
ing to an Associated Press dis
patch from the headquarters of
the Ohio Oil company at FindIay
Ohio.
This posted price. with the 20
cent pipe line charge of t h e
Illinois Pipe Line company, will
make the price of crude 90 cents
a barrel a t the railway. The
price set is the same s that
posted for Salt Creek crude in
Wyoming.
The setting of the price was
not known to any of the oil men
of the field and the announce
ment of the Ohio company caus-
ed considerable surprise, altho
it had been reported that the
posted price would probably
range in the neighborhood Of 81
a barrel.
Several thousand barrels of
oil have already been collected
from wells in the field and settle
ment will undoubtedly now be
made on the basis Of the posted
price. This will also mean that
royalty checks on many of the
wells in the field will soon follow
baised on the price of crude,
although there will be some that
will run higher, due to the sale
Of crude for fuel oil in the field,
which has been bringing $3.50 a
barrel. The posted price is ex-
pected to force downward
trend in the price in the charge
made in the field for crude de-
stined to be used for fuel oil in
other operations.

follows:
We are now at around $50 feet

There has been five gas sands to
date and gas is being used to fire
the boiler. We should pick up
the Sunburat sand at about 1900
feet and as the Newman and
Zimmerman both found oil in this
sand we feel reasonably sure of
production in this sand thus ex-

FORD PREDICTS 1000
OIL WELLS next YEAR
Tulsa Operator Says Development Next Spring in
North Field Will Be on Huge Scale; Shallow
Drilling Speeds Work


A thousand wells will be drill
ed in the Kevin field during the
season Of 1923, according to Fred
Ford of Tulsa, Okla, production
superintendent for the Gladys
Belle in five states Of the mid
continent and southern fields,
who has been in Montana in con-
nection with the Gladys-Belle
activities in the state. He will
leave for Tulsa the first of the
week.
While in the field, Ford super
vised the drilling in, f the
Gladys Belle-Fryberger we'll in
section 24-35-3 w, and made in
spection trips to all the wells of
the field.
AS the result Of this inspection
Ford said, he believed that the
field has already proved itself
the largest in point of area in
the United States. Development
done up to the present is not
fraction of what will follow the
opening of spring, he predicted.
He said that oil men Of the
Mid-continent fields are already
watching with the keenest inter-
est the progress of events in the
north, although they are handi-
capped by the meager news that
finds its way to the Mid-contin-
ent region. The entrance of new
companies in the Montana devel-
opment, the sending of Montana
reports and newspapers TO the
Mid continent has been effective
in meeting this to some extent,
he said. He predicted that a
great number of practical oil
men will 60 northward next
spring to enter the field.
"When | predicted a develop

must remember that we have
shallow drilling here he said.
"A depth of 1000 feet will not
phase practical Gil men. These
wells can be sunk without diff
Guilty within 80 days each. In
our own work in the nortn we
have drilled our wells within 80 |
days despite difficulties in con-
nection with the water and fuel
supply that have often forced |
shut downs.
"Oil men and drillers familiar
with operations in other fields
will find little difficulty. The
field up here is similar in it's con- i
ditions with those of Arkansas
and some in Texas. 1t is rather
differant from the Oklahoma
field as it is shallow drilling.

driller or production problems

always drilled water wells can't !

night in any field.
lone of the most promising
features of the coming year
will be the coming of addition

There are some good oil men IN

that is to come next summer,
