The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-10-18


the first shot OF 20 quarts develop
ed three million feet OF gas from the
Ellis which with the Sunburst gas
makes five million feet for the well
AT first it looked as it would be q
gasser altogether, but a second shot
was put in after the gas had blown
Tor awhile, the oil came in and they
nave a good well, tho not as large
as the others of the company in the
same section. This well will proba-
bly, increase its production as time
goes by
Routine development is proceeding
at many locations throughout the
proven area. Montana Giant Petro-
leum company have spudded in their
Montana Giant MCGOWAN permit l.
NV NE NE 8, 35, 2 and are drilling
at 1000 feet. East of this at the
Beardslee- Swears No. 2, Sc Sc NV
10, 35, west, hard luck is roosting
on the derrick, or else the boys have
it figured that way to get a real well
is to put plenty of bait in the hole,
and SO being in big well section
they have dropped in three bits,
which seems to be the magic num-
Der in the field, and we will await
results.
Beardslee- State No. 1, NE NE NV
16, 35, west is down ITO feet and
going nicely.
Mid-Northern-S -Swears No. /, NV
NV NV 9, So, 2 west, diagonal off
Sc ito their Britton well in 5, is drill
ing at $50 feet.
In section "a, 35, west, on the
east side of the field, two wells are
drilling, the Sunburst- Wells -Zim-
norman No. 1, NE SW NV, is down
1000, getting the red beds at $50.
The Idaho -Montana-Haggerty No.
Sc NE SW same section is at 300
feet.
North of these wells the Nelson
Sunburst- KalispellKevin, Sc Sc
Sc, 13, 35, 2 west got out their lost
bailer but when they attempted to
clean the hole to run casing, it cav
ed again on the tools and they viii
again be delayed.
In range l west, the Potlatch is
rigging up for rotary test at the
NV NE NV Fl, 35, west, and the
Dakota -Montana-C Carlson wells in
NE NE NV 7, "a, west is shut
Iown waiting for casing.
The Adams Rochester & Anoka
we'll, NE Sc SW 25, 35, 2 west, is
making hole at $50 feet.
Sunburst-Red Deer-Eline- Suhr l,
NV NE NE 9, "a, west drilled to
1547 feet reaching bottom in the
Madison lime with 500 feet of sulph-
ar water in the hole. The well will
and abandoned.
The purring of the Wild Cats con
sinues, altho some of them have
been pretty well tanned in the past
couple of weeks.
The kittenNin the Sweetgrass hills
holds the center of attention at this
late. This we'll has been standing
around for long time now, and last
week, the contractor, Frank Hast
ngs, shut down the well and went to
Great Falls, as the drilling had be-
,ome very difficult apparently. W.
3. Burks and an expert crew were
placed in charge and cleaned out the
lole which had been drilled too small
md are at present writing drilling
n a sandy lime which is probably
he first sand Of the Ellis and If
is not found here, it
should be found within the next so
eet.
On the east side, three miles from
the Sweet Grass Skill
on /, has found itself unable to
complete the test to the Ellis sand,
is the casing cannot be moved. they
will shoot off the lower end of the
asing and pull the balance up SO
hat thev can shoot the showing OF
il found in the Colorado. Here
hey had a "a foot sand that had
showing of very high
-rade oil, and probably will make
Yell when shot.
Another well turned defeat into
-ictory this week by coming in
practically dry and being shot into
very good producer. The Kla-
No. 2 SW SW Sc 14-35
west came into the Ellis sand at
465. Looking like a dry hole, but
60 quart shot of nitro brought IN
rush of oil that filled the casing
or 600 feet, and we understand to-
ay that it is hitting the top of the
errick periodically. This same
