KEVINSUNBURST
OPERATORS ACTIVE

Something big is likely to pop in
Kevin4Sunburst during the nexi few
weeks.
Never before in the history Of the
field has there been such widespread
prospecting with such alIuring possi-
bilities as at present.
North, east. south and west the
drillers are spreading out into semi
proven districts where as any time
new gusher pool may be opened
up.
The operators have in the past
concentrated all their attention on
one pool at time. Now here is no
particular pool holding atten ion.
Operators are stepping out in all di-
rections, each with the idea Of open
ing up a pool Of his own. One OF
more Of the several is very likely to
do this thing and blow the Id off the
crude oil market.
Range three west-the Kevin dis
trcit-is yet to write its history. Two
producers in the shadow OF the es
carpment have just been completed
by the Tarrant interests. There are
II square miles OF proven but unde-
veloped oil lands in this Kevin
district.
On the north end Of the field there
is condition similas to hat four
ir the Barger gusher pool. gusner
oil well that turned to water. The
IJamont well, drilling to locate This
gusher pool, would be completion
this week but for the delay of fish,
ing job at 1906 feet. They had twc
strings Of tools in the hole at last re
pert, which may mean quite a delay
On the northeast end of the field
the Jones Oil company has gone in or
the State lease in 1851 west and Il
drilling at 400 feet. Geologis's say
that the Baker-H0wling faults runs
through this district. There is
line across the field on the north side
Of which are Snnburst sand wells
On the south side are Ellis wells
Some Of the biggest wells in the fiel6
are along the west end OF this fault
The east end, with the advantage OF
the prolific sands of the famous Easi
pool, may offer the greatest wells in
Montana, once the pool is located.
Seeking South Pool
On the south and southeast sides
OF the field is the greatest activity
On the southeast slope there is true
Ellis sand, different from the lime
sand Of the Madison contact Oper7
tors have been playing around tn
edge of a suspected pool for some
time. Half dozen wells are now
searching for it. This is a shallow
district where it does not lake much
money to prospect. There is no BET
ter place in the country to wildcat
operators say, than in this area
Deep Test Look Good
Added to these tests are the deel
tests. AS certainly as there is com
mercial oil in this field. Commercial
production will be found in the sands
or lines below the top Of the Madi
son limestone without a doubt,
doodle bug" will be responsible fol
opening up this deep production. The
operator is promised a well by doo-
die bug locator. The we'll finds no
oil at the contact It must be deep
err says the doodle bugger and SO
the we'll goes on down. Two deeT
tests are now drilling and two more
are projected One Of sllese, the Ad
vance-K Kitchen No. /. hit heavy flow
Of wet gas at 300 feet during the past
week. Wet gas has only one source:
it comes from an oil pool Somewhere
MOI far away there is Devonian OIL
pool. This well has had three show
ings Of oil in the Devonian
