GTWTAOF
CRUDE RAISED

Montana producers have been
called upon by the Montana Pc
troleum Conservation committee TO
submit q report Of estimated pro-
duction for the month OF July, also
the apparent market for oil, to
prepare a showing before the Pc
troleum code authorities at Wash
ington 70 get the Montana quota
raised to equal the production.
Montana has never exceeded its
quota. SO for the month OF July
the federal code authorities re-
duced the Montana quota 500 bar
rels per day-from $500 to 5000
barrels. The June production
averaged $500 barrels per day.
Montana has market for every
barrel of oil It can produce, up to
1900 barrels per day. British
American today wants 5000 bar
reis for export to Canada; Texas
company wants 1000 barrels, I'm
perial OH Co. wants 5000 barrels
for export to its Maple Leaf plant
and other Canadian refineries. IN
addition, Big West Of Kelvin,
Aronow OF Kalispell and Havre,
Conrad Refining of Conrad, Con-
sumers Refining of Collins and
Home OIL Of Great Fails offer
further market OF $500 to 5000
barrels per day. In the face OF
this market, the proposal TO pro-
rate Montana--as viii be absolute
" necessary under an S,O00-barrel
is regarded as ridiculous.
All Montana oil is being sold at
posted field price, at a price which
offers 8 profit to operators and
landowners and refiners as well,
IN conformity with the purposes Of
he NFaA, under which the petrole-
nm code Is functioning.

down to financial oblivian to those who
tried to care for their margins.
The Dipple property was kicked
around" until it was taken over by
Nepsted & Van Der Pas, two real oil
men who know how to make money out
of five-barrel wells. They went ahead
with development and brought the total
number of producers up to five, al
though the wells averaged only 2 or 8
barrels per day.
Then arrived ACID. For ages every
one has known that muriatic acid would
consume lime. One time in Kevin-Sun-
burst, years ago, w. E. Burks, con-
tractor, had some tools stuck in lime
formation and he poured a considerable
quantity of hydrochloric (muratic) acid
into the hole to eat away the lime so
he could get fishing tools down over
the lost metal. However, it was only
few years ago that someone thought
of charging a hole drilled in lime with
the use of acid.
The wells drilled on the Dipple farm
penetrated into the lime formation with
a hole six inches wide. The only oil
produced was the small amount that
seeped into the six-inch hole Nepstead
and Van Der Pas were among the first
to recognize that If they could enlarge
that hole in the lime, they would have a
greater gathering surface, and they en-
ployed the newly organized Montana
Acid Well Treating company of Shelby
to treat their wells.
Taking no chances on any Of theAA
good" wells, they experimental on
none other than the old Mountain
States Dipple No. / well
1t was this wei that, after acid
treatment, began flowing NINETY
A DAY. They had no
tankage at the -naturally-so they
had to hook it onto tanks quarter Of
a mile away, on little hill. And so
this well, bueking the back pressure of
the lift up the hill, continued to flow
for several days until tankage could
be moved in alongside the famous old
dry hole. It continued to flow for
many weeks. It is now making around
FIFTY BARRELS A DAY.

A couple of weeks ago, another dry
hole" was completed on the Dipple
farm. 1t had only a showing of oil
Had it been drilled 10 years ago it
would have been abandoned without
moment hesitation. But this time,
Nepsted had 600 gallons of acid forced
into the lime and this dry hole began
making 20 barrels a day. It is now
"settled down" to IS barrels per day.
All of this is interesting field news
but there is an outside" angle that
is interesting. With the exception of
a small amount of royalty held by an
attorney and one or two others in
Shelby, all of the royalty on the Dipple
farm belongs to the North Dakota In
vestors, the Helgason brothers, who
were stuck" with the property. To-
day it is bringing them a fat royalty
check twice a month. incidentally, it
is reported to be a "life saver for

everyone comedies that the Helgason

unlikely property than the one which is
today giving them financial indie

Stories of this kind are becoming
more and more common in the annals
of Kevin-Sunburst Several people who
invested their money in royalties ahead
of the drill a number of years ago and
thereafter lived to regret it, are being

At receiving chance to sell ont for

AT receiving q royalty check for as

If it occurs to anyone that it might

Sunburst before the good opportunities
are gone, we viii be glad to look up

The Story of the Dipple

One of the greatest failures in Mon
tana oil history was the Mountain
States Oil copany, which owned the
lease on the Dipple farm in the east
part Of Kevin-Sunburst field.
The Dipple farm is in Section 1885,
Nv, not far from the big producers Of
the Rice-Fulton group. However, before
that famous pool was developed, Noun
tain States Oil company was organized
to prospect for oil IN the east end Of
Kevin-Sunburst.
This company had The greatest of diff
ficulty in financing. The well was a
long way East and people were hesi-
tant about putting their money into a
proposition so uncertain. At the same
time, the owners of the land were no
more certain than anyone else, and the
royalties could have been bought cheap
ly-had there been any willing to buy
them.
The Mountain States well was "wor-
ried' down to the sand. It contained
a little oil-not enough to be profitable
s. G. Ferdig tried to operate the well
but it did not pay. 1t had little sand,
the oil coming from a soft spot in the
top of the lime.
So the Mountain States "blew up"
The stockholders took their loss. The
owners of the land grew tired of wait
ing for the expected wealth and listed
their property for sale. A Shelby
broker succeeded in unloading it on
some unsuspecting North Dakotans,
brothers, named Helgason who believed
that the royalties might some day make
them some money. $50
In 1928 q new operator appeared on
the farm and drilled three or four wells.
They were small producers and looked
none too profitable, at best. The Hell
gasons were glad they had no more In
vestments of the kind for in 1928 they
were able to make money ''hand over
fist" in wheat futures and in the stock
market.
However, it was not long until the
stock market "blew up and the Hell
gasOns were glad their money was
safely buried in unproduced OH in Mon
tana, rather than in u S. Steel or some
other "gilt edge" which went steadily
