of the low price of crude. Besides
these are IA producing gas wells.
Nearing completion and expected
in at any time are two wells on the
west side and one on the east side
To the west the Swartz- Kevin-
Crawford No. 1, SW NV NV 7-34-
II, is practically completion at a
bout 1470 feet They have just
touched the Ellis sand in this well
from the reports received, and have
considerable oil in the hole and have
some around the rig. The well has
been shut down for several days,
awaiting the arrival Of Mr.. Swartz
of Lewistown, who is at the head of
the company Mr.. Swartz is presi-
dent of the AFRO refining company
of Lewistown. They are confident
Of good production here. This well
lis about miles southeast Of Kevin.
To the Northeast Of Kevin, in the
center of NE NE 25-35-3 west, the
Campbell Oil company Stewart No
/ is also shut down awaiting instruc-
tions from Gordon Campbell who is
expected back any day from a trip
to eastern points, where he is con-
ducting camaign for his refine
ry and pipeline to Shelby.
On the east side the Wyomont-
Stannard No. 2 e NV Sc 25--35,
2 west, is expected to drill in today.
This well is almost certain to be a
good well as it is only an offset to
the south from their number one
well and the California MCGEE and
Empire wells. The log is checking
with the No. well.
Among the interesting develop
ments at the various wells in the
field, is the behavior of the Califor-
nia-McGee No. 2, Sc SW NE 25-
35-2 where they got good well in
the Sunburst sand and just had
touched the Ellis pay. when they lost
the tools which are still in the hole
with some cave on them. In spite
of this handicap, the well has been
flowing oil over the top Of the cas-
ing during the past week, and yes
terday the gas gathered enough
headway to thow the oil over the top
of the derrick several times. 1t will
be interesting to note how good
well the California has here, when it
is cleaned out and completed.
Another we'll whose behavior is
getting better is the Gladys-Belle
Fryberger Olson No. at S Sc NE
"a, 35, 8 west, which was brought in
last November small producer
with some water coming in, and
practically abandonded until it was
discovered not long ago that oil was
flowing over the top of the casing.
It has been connected up to a pump
and for a considerable test has been
making some 25 barrels per day, and
more gas and oil seem to be coming
in as it is worked, while the water IS
gradually disappearing.
At the Homestake-Pew No. !,
Sc NE NV 1922, 35, 2 west, 40
quart shot has helped considerably
and they are trying the experiment
of swabbing the well for long test
instead of putting it at once on the
DUMP. The result in this well after
number of days of swabbing, is
chat the well stands up TO the initial
production under swabbing, where !
Immediately placed on the pump a
bout the second day it starts to de
cline.
The big well of the Sweetgrass-
Oil company, the McDonald-Norun1
No. 2 in section A, "a, 2 west, broke
loose again last week as the pres
sure Of the gas raised the 6 inch cas-
ing which they had set, and the oil
flowed up between the six and eight
inch pipes, again turning into a /
young gusher and flooding the dry
lake to the east of the well with I
probably thousand barrels of OIL
This well looks like the goods and IS
thought by some to be able to make
a thousand barrels flush production.
