on It and try to GUY the royalty on
the basis of rate-of-Teturn. That Is as
manffestly unfair as If IN Solution
No. / the hole were large enough to
allow only one barrel per day to es-
cape. In that case, the royalty buyer
would get 81 every 100 days and IN
1000 days would receive $40, so $40
would be the blind price fixed, which
means no deal
In Cut Bank field, as an example,
800 acres is room for 80 wells. The
yalue OF 10 royalty under $40 ac-
res is not determined by one producing
we'll Neither can 1t be determined
by multiplying the production OF one
wen by 80. The value OF royalty
under 320 acres is determined by
only one factor:
THE AMOUNT OF OIL A TRACT
OF LAND PROBABLY CONTAINS.
If there is any who thinks that
an oil operator does not take into
consideration the possible or probable
recovery per acre before he drills
a we'll, that person is mistaken An
operator will not spend 100000 on
drilling a well in a field where the
maximum likely recovery is 5000
barrels per acre, as an example He
doesn't drill a well unless he sees
the possibility Of getting his money
back and at least doubling his money
thereafter. That Is the minimum. He
HOPES for 500 to 500% and pre-
fers areas which give this possfbil-
ity But he doesn't gamble In the
face of improbability.
The early development OF Cat
Greek was based on a possible recov-
cry Of about $4,000 per acre. OPP
orators could see their way clear to
make q lot of money, with easy 1900
foot drilling, on recovery of $4,000
'per acre. But dnstead OF recovering
$4,000 per acre, they have recovered
$35 100000 per acre, thus far, and
the field is nowhere near exhaustion.
That Is now sensational fortunes are
made in the oil business but at the
start the operator proposes TO TAKE
NO CHANCES.
After wells enough are drilled to
determine thickness OF sands, aver
age saturation and average porosity,
the operator starts to work with
pencil before starting q drilling cam
paign. Thus the royalty investor can
pretty we'll guide himself by the
judgment OF the operator. But WITH
OUT an operator, the royalty inves-
tor can determine for himself wheth-
er 4 royalty investment is q Wild
gamble or a fairly safe investment.
It Is in producing royalties that in
vestors take the WILD GAMBLE.
We have had Midcontinent royal
ties submitted TO us which were bas-
ed on a recovery OF $4,000 barrels
to the acre. They are paying wonder
full returns on the investment. But
there are only SEVEN fields in the
world that have produced $4,000
barrels or more to the acre. ANY field
MAY produce more. but We must look
to the Law of averages before we
Montana oil and mining journal., 1933-04-15
This is Correct

make that assumption. The probabil-
tiles are that the average field will
NOT produce $4,000 bbls. to the ac-
re.
We have furnished our members
with list Of the leading oil fields In
the United States, showing their age,
total production, area and production
per acre. That gives us an idea of
what to expect When we become
intimately acquainted with the his
tory of development OF Montana oil
fields we get some idea OF what to
expect In Montana. What do we care,
whether a field IL rated on a recov-
cry of 5000 barrels per acre or 50,-
600 barrels per acre? We can make
just as much money investing 81
in the first as $40 In the latter and
we have the advantage that the s.
O00-barreI-per-acre field MIGHT ex-
coed that figure, while the chances
OF the latter field exceeding 1000
barrels per acre are more remote.
Last week we pointed out inteIli-
gent READING as a prime essential
to success in investment in royalties
This week we add AR1TEMETTC,
simple multiplying and dividing. The
man who cannot take his pencil and
figure the value or a royalty, based
on the engineering estimates OF ex-
Derts on possible recovery, should
never invest In a royalty.

President Roosevelt proposed divorce interstate
pipelines from big oil company shipper-ownershp. This
would make of these pipelines public carriers open to nde
pendents as we'll the great companies.
It looks as though the big league did expect this
move The Standard groups wanted federal arbter oil
holiday and recommendations for conservancy legislation by
various states The president recommended none OF these
Instead voiced the decision that big business and the oil
monopoly should be divorced from their srangle hold thru
the pipe lines.
Many Independents say that effective act could

whose life at stake under the proposed plan The

This is Erroneous

Solution No 1 is erroneous, al
though it APPEARS that it is an in
vestment paying $50 per annum.
But it pays at that rate only until
the tank is drained, which requires
a maximum Of 14O days On 140
days, the tank being full, the inves-
tor has received $500. against an
investment of $4,000. Naturally, that
is not right.
Yet how many investors, knowing
nothing OF royalties, would not agree
that a yield OF 66%. per annum is
a good Investment?
Yet it is not, as shown by Solution
No. 2.
That Is an extreme comparison, but
1t illustrates an idea.
Solution Mo. Is not so simple
when applied to measurement Of oil
in sands below the ground, but the
principle is the same. None Of us
knows how much oil a tank con-
tains. We may have a general idea
of the difference between a 1000
barrel tank, a 50,0001barrel and an
8O,0004barrel tank, but that is about
all. However. there Is formula for
determining about how much a tank
contains and a petroleum engineer
can tell us to the gallon.
Likewise, we know something about
oil structures We know how much
the AVERAGE oil field In the I'm
ited States has produced, per acre.
We know how much oil those fields
of certain types are LIKWLY to pro-
duce, per acre, that Is. flat dip
structures as compared with sharp
folds; or sand fields as compared
with lime fields.
We can't do a much better job Of
measuring oil pools than we can in
measuring up big storage tanks, but
petroleum engineers can agadn save
us this work. We know exactly how
10 multiply the average thickness OF
sand by percentage of saturation by
porosity by the number OF feet in
an acre and then divide by the num-
Der of cubic feet in a barrel and de-
termine how much oil q given sand
probably contains. We divide It in
half. figuring that only half of the
oil is recoverable by present meth
ods. That gives us SOME IDEA OF
the content of an acre of oil land.
We then buy a share Of the oil on
a basis that allows for the posi-
bility that this particular acre may
contain only HALF as much as the
average for the entire area, on the
same line Of reasoning as in the pur-
chase OF the oil in the tank above
ground. We CAN do ali that but or
dinarily we accept the figures of
petroleum engineers who are better
mathematicians and who are more
familiar with recoverablea in an oil
field. But we DO know how the con-
clusions are reached.

not like our method OF figuring roy
atty values. II they want TO buy
