An Interesting Experiment

Some time ago this organiza-
ton issued a bulletin to mem
bers advising them to adopt q
watchfuf waiting policy in the
purchase Of Kevin-Sunbnrst roy
alties.
At that time we pointed out
that drilling activity does not
put the oil in the ground. If
there is a million barrels Of oil
under a given tract Of ground in
Kevin-Sunburst field, it was
doubtless there a million years
ago and it will be there a mil
lion years from now-unless
someone drills a well and re-
leases it from the trap or vug
in which it is contained.
That being the case, it is very
apparent that the wisest royalty
investor will want to buy royal
ty on PROVEN ground at a
time when the seller is hungriest
and win agree to the best bar
gain. Yet he can feel assured
that in due course Of time SOME
operator is going to drill this
ground and take the oil out to
supply SOME refiner who needs
the oil to make gasoline to sup
ply the local market. We are as
certain of that fact as we are
certain of life itself.
Except when we turned our
attention to the West end Of
Kelvin Sunburst-in which we
still have a lot of faith-wc
have kept out of that field for
many months. Drilling activity
has dropped off virtually to a
stand-still under the 75-cent oil
price. We would not be surpris-
ed to see another cut in the price
of this oil right after the legis-
lature adjourns. Another cut
means that the only operator who
wiH drill viii likely be one who
has facilities for marketing his
crude in the form of refined pro-
1ucts. A further price cut would
certainly be the signal for the
purchase Of royalties in Kelvin
Sunburst.
We have been dealing in re-
ent months with sand fields. If
levin-Sunburst were a sand
ield, the purchase of royalties
t this time would not be so
dvisable. This field has produc-
q about one-third of the amount
t oil petroleum engineers say it
lould produce If the oil were
through sands, being
'ashed into the producing wells
water pressure. then we
ould feel differently about Kew
l-Sunburst. However, in Kelvin
unburst the oil comes from lime
APPS, and not from sands. The
reatest wells in that field arc
grounded, in many instances,
2 small ''strippers' and several
e surrounded by dry holes. 1t
flows that the greatest oil well
the field may yet be com
eted in Kevin-Sunburst: pos
bly, Offsetting a dry hole.
An operator was In our office
st week, looking over some
APPS of Kevin-Sunburst and he
ought a grin in statement
at illustrates this point. He
cked out a spot which was sur
unded by dry holes.

small wells being farther latsrally
from the fissures. and the barren
areas representing places FAR Ne
moved from tissurss or fractures. %
But more important is his dis
cussion Of the Possible Sources
Of Oil" where he says, in part:
"A part Of the oil usually cred
tied TO the base Of the Ellis forma-
ton Is probably held in the cav
ernous weathered top of the Nadi-
son limestone. Such occurrences are
probably only phases Of the accn-
mutation Of the Ellis oil and may
not be indicative Of its source.
'iShowings OF oil have been found
In small vertical assures in the
normally compact Madison lime
stone. and parts OF the Madison
core Of the Troy-Sweetgrass we'll

"A considerable quantity of

ported to have been found near the

rad, in Sec. 2. T.2sN., r. sW.
showings Of oil and hydrocarbon

reported from the Devonian rocks

sunburst field, and the Bears Den
well, northeast Of East Butte. The
Afhabaska tar sands, 400 miles
north of the Kevin-Sunburst oil
field, which lie Just above the De-
vonian, the oil found at points
farther north in Canada; and the
oily odor found IN the Devonian
limestone Of the Little Rocky
Mountains, all lead to the belief
that the Devonian contains a con-
siderable quantity Of oil and may
possibly be the source OF the oil
Of the Kevin-sunburst field.
Considering the great thickness
Of the Madison, the oil found in the

the dry hole district as a good
place to drill gave a laugh. How
ever, he may be absolutely right.
The fact is that a dry hole in
Kevin-Sunburst means absolutely
nothing. An operator who drills
out his lease, location after lo-
cation, is due to get seven pro-
ducers, Of one kind or another.
out Of every 10 he drills. That Is
the average within the producing
contours, and he must be pre-
pared to make his money by hav-
ing good commercial lease and
economical operations which will
insure him a profit from a pro-
duction of 5000 barrels to the
acre, average. The average ac-
re Of developed land in Kelvin
Sunburst' including dry holes,
has thus far produced around
$500 worth of oil. That gives
q range Of possible recovery In
view Of the fact that wells can
be drilled for about half the
cost Of a few years ago. il
stands to reason that a lot of
money win be made in Kelvin
Sunburst by the AVERAGE on
orator, not counting those who
may run into big production
such as has marked every de.
VelOped pool in the field.
Furthermore, the deep drilling
situation must be kept in mind

alton comes from no lesser an

person will demand royalty in

believe the real STUDENTS who

low the course we have outlined
with regard to Kevin-Sunburst.

complish those things which can

Everyone admits the logia, Bat
none is doing anything abeus It.
Every man who has q frae&on
OF one per cent royalty IN Kew
in-Sunburst and no matter Aow
much money he has made, hes q
better gamble before him, with
the possibility Of deep sand pRO-
ductiOn, than the Ellis formation
has afforded. If it isn't logiaal TO
drill deeper in Kevin-SunbHrst.
then the ones who drilled $500
feet and deeper to test the Or
dOvician in Oklahoma City and
other fields were wrong. Il hap
pens that the Ordovieian con

The idea Of stepping baak in
to Kevin-Sunburst to pick M
cheap royalties is by no Means
original with us. The fact Il that
several Independent operators
are today working on exactly
the same line Of reasoning. One
operator came to as recently to
get us to help him gather M
some scattered royalty. He want
ed to get his lease up to 50 per
cent Of the oil He sees that
NOW is the time to put his Konse
IN order and a little later he win
be operating a very profitable
lease whereas he lost money IN
times OF Sits oil because of
the burden Of an excessive ever
riding rOyalty-the disastrous mo-
hey that killed many Independ-
emit operators in this field and
made "hard going" for the lar
ger operators. IF this operator
had secured an IS percent lease
in the first place he would have
made money. he is now paying
for his mistake by buying reyal-
ty but he chooses this time as
the ideal one in which to do this
buying.
