THIRD WELL.

Crumley's location has been
mapped by geologists as being
Just south Of the syncIine
which separates the Whitlash
and Strobe structures.
Points To Strobe
The fact that the Crumley
well found oil showings in both
sands which produce oil on
WhitIash, in addition to a
good showing in the 13-fOot
Bow Island sand, served to
confirm the belief Of many
that the Strobe structure, when
drilled on its pronounced
high south Of the Crumley
well, viii be found CONNER
cially productive.
The Strobe structure is the
thigh" of the entire Sweet
grass Hills region, a segment Of
sedimentary rocks in a sharp
pitching '9V" with its apex
pointing south and slightly
east. The Crumley well was
drilled north and east Of the
open points Of the "V' IN
the extreme low spot Of the
structure.
Despite this, the Crumley
wen found oil-sOaked sands,
pointing to the presence Of
migratory oil. Since the apex
Of the "V"-the high" Of
Strobe, is the logical place for
the migratory oil to have ae-
cnmulated, operators are now
awaiting with extreme interest.
the result of further drilling
on this structure.
That such drilling viii take
place during the next few
now seems likely, with
all evidence pointing to inter-
esting developments when ii
occurs.

More important, it has now
been thoroughly proven that
the entire northwest slope Of

Rockies, is potentially produc-

Next development in this
district is expected "a be com
mencement Of drilling activi-
ties on the Blackfeet Indian
reservation, just west Of Cut
Bank, wherever there is any
visible evidence of structure.
Producers in the Cut Bank
district are approximately 700
feet structurally lower than
producers in the Kevin-Sun-
burst field and it is now be-
heved that both oil and gas
may be found still lower on
the west flank Of the arch,
making the reservation elig-
IDLE for exploration.
Paxco Ia Proof
Proof that this belief is logi-
cal is found in the Pareo well
on the Twin Rivers structure
on the Alberta side Of the
line, approximately IS miles
northwest Of Cut Bank. The
Parco well is much lower on
structure than the Cut Bank
producers, yet found enough
oil to warrant belief that fur

Structurally, the Parco well
has about the same elevation as
is Indicated in the central cas-
tern part Of the reservation.

field price to $l.07 per barrel.
The oil was stored during the
low price period and this ae
ton added a considerable net
profit for the stockholders.
THE past winter was quite
severe and production was
somewhat curtailed because Of
flow lines being frozen, but BY
laying surface lines and with
the aid of warmer weather this
difficulty was overcome. Pro
duction at the present time Is
running between IS and SO
barrels per day.
No drilling was done dur
ing 1881 and none is planned
for this year, as with financial
conditions serious all over the
country, the board Of directors
decided to pay dividends in
stead Of spending the net profit
in developing the lease.

Despite the publicity given
to the matter, few people ap-

extent Of the gas wastage taxi

amounted to the huge total Of

which some 100 billion were
wasted. That win be sufficient
to supply the Edmonton gas

Closing in Of the wells is
being done so the board caD
ascertain the gas pressure at

to allot a fair production fig
ure for each operator when the
tests are completed. It is
planned to reduce gas produe-
ton to less than 200, DOC, 900
cubic feet daily with a drastic
reduction in naphtha produc-
ton also.
The tests are being accom-
plished after a great struggle
in and cut Of the courts. In
dependent operators objected
to basing the gas production
on the flow Of naptha On The
grounds that a reduction in
naptha would make operations
profitless and PVT some com
panies out Of business. Spooner
Oils, Ltd, sought a permanent
injunction to restrain the board
from enforcing conservation,
but the Alberta supreme court
dismissed its application.

the fight and has given notice
Of appeal. 1t attempted to OBJ

was refused by Mr.. Justice A..
