FULTON TEST
ON PONDERA
DRILLING IN

The Fulton-H astings-Erick-
son well in Pondera field,
SW SW54 NE14 1O-2-4W, is
today drilling into the sand,
having drilled out the cement
plug on Friday.
This well is scheduled to
prove or disprove theory of
a north high" in this field,
revealed by logs of wells
drilled.
Casing was set at 1865
feet. The hole was perfectly
dry but the production string
was cemented in conformity
with good oil field practice.
This well is being drilled by
w. M. Fulton for Warren
Hastings, Portland, Ore, cap
italists. Hastings and Fulton
are said to control a large
block of acreage covering the
northern high. Should this
we'll come in, as expected,
with a production of so bar
rels per day, or more, it will
likely establish the fact that
Pondera pool runs from
northeast to southwest, rather
than from northwest to south
west to southeast, as now

I'VE figure that we are on the

confident that both would be oil
wells today had we known OF the
use OF hydrochloric acid at the
time. Many wells with lesser show
dngs have been made into big pro-
ducers in recent months in this
field"
Mr.. Kitchener states that he
win use acid on this well which
he will carry past the contact. in
the absence of a flow Of oil. to a
point 295 feet below the top Of the
lime where he had his largest
showings in his former wells.

they have reached white lime, in

Cement Pipe
Second Time.
Flat Coulee

Acid introduced In the we'll of
the j. H. Hamilton company on
Flat Coulee apparently prevented
the cement from setting, when an
effort was made to cement the pro-
duction string of casing. and as a
result the well was re-cemented
last week.
Reports from the we'll Thursday
indicated that the cement held this
second time after setting for 10
days, and the work OF drilling out
the cement plug is I'm progress to-
day. The well was treated with
acid by D0well. Inc. to increase
production from an oil-bearing
limestone at the base OF the Cut
Bank sand horizon. The acid treat
ment resulted in increasing the
column of fluid from about 700
feet to 1850 feet, this being the
level at which the fluid stood when
the pipe was cemented the first
time But the first cement did
not hold and drillers figured that
there was enough of the acid left
in the hole-which had not been
cleaned out since the shot--to cut
the lime in the cement.
Mr.. Hamilton states that the
we'll will now be completely cleaned
before rods and tubing are run.
The cementing OF the casing will
halt q small seepage OF mud OF
the soft formation above the pro-
iucing horizon which was getting
INTO the hole from behind the s.

that time Il has been surveyed by
a number of engineers including

The structure has been taken
over by a Canadian group headed
by II. c. Wells, Robert Wilkinson
and Herb Greenfield. who have or
a company known as the
Royalite company with Henry Ha-
gen az president. The Hagen fami-
ly owns most Of the top property
on the structure. totalling around
$500 acres. The Canadians have
continued leasing a block OF about
5000 acres, and are reported to
have paid 81 an acre in advance for
part Of their leases.
The well is said to be fully IL
lanced, largely by a royalty group

been made for q turnkey drilling

UNITED STATES FIRM OBTAINS CONTRACT TO CONSTRUCT
 SOVIET REFINERY

NEW YORK, Aug l6-The Am torg Trading corporation signed a contract with Alec Products, incor- porated, subsidiary of the Ameri. can Locomotive company, for the construction of the first refinery in the new Russian oil fields near Ufa, on the west slope of the Urals.
 The construction cost of the plant is approximately $l,200,000. The Soviet government will pay cash on delivery in New York of the various plant units.
 The contract was signed by Ivan Boyeff, chairman of the board of Amtorg, and William C. Dickerman, president of the American Locomo- tive company.
 A number of Alec engineers will go to Russia to supervise the con- Structon.
 The new refinery will have a capacity of l2,000 barrels day of gasoline, fuel oil and asphalt.
 It is the first large contract for the oil industry nlaced in the United States by the Soviet government in the past three or four years.

Also sub- scription was taken up here and the response was much appreciated. A money order was then sent out and we feel sure that Mrs. EaSley will appreciate the Candle spirit.
