STARTS THIRD
TRYFOR POOL

Another effort to develop q west
extension to Cut Bank field was
this week started by Dan Drumhel-
Ter, pioneer geolOgist-operatOr who
with his brothers drilled the Cut
Bank discovery well.
Drumheller has drilled two dry
holes in the central part of Town

ing on the theory that there IS a

from the northwest, he has again
moved northlward to get out Of q
zone In which the sand Is highly
compressed. 1t Is adjacent to these
compression zones that the largest
producers in Cut Bank field have
been found.
The new location is in the center
of the NEA SWA 17-34N-6W, on
land owned by Drumheller in Fee.
1t Is a mile and three quarters from
the nearest producing oil well, the

DESTINED TO
De GAS FIELD

A flow Of water ended the oil
test on Bow & Arrow structure this
week in the well of Kyle and asso-
ciates on the KieIbaugh farm, cen
ter SWH SWA 12-37-1W. Water
was encountered at 1872 feet, with
no showing of oil reported.
Boyd Kyle has worked for years
to get this structure developed, this
being his fourth we'll 1t is a proven
gas structure, on the higher contours
but Kyle is confident that oil will
be found. A well drilled last year
was Intentionally located low on
structure where it might get Cut
Bank sand. This formation was
found and it contained oil at the
top, followed by water. So he
promptly moved a little higher on
structure and drilled the present
well, confident that it was low
enough to avoid the gas and well
above the water. 1t checked about
as expected but had neither a show
ing of oil, as did the first well, nor
a flow OF gas.
e. B. Coolidge interests have TAX
en- over the gas acreage and the
producing gas well and will immedi-
ately drill another we'll which, with
the first producer, will be piped to
Sunburst and Sweetgrass-COutts Gas
wells with a flow of around s.
100000 cubic feet per day are ex-
pected In the Sunburst sand.
Whether he will again try for oil
has not been announced by Kyle.

TWO ACTIVE OIL
TESTS IN OREGON

BEND, ORE.-There have been
several wildcat oil wells drilled in
central and eastern Oregon with
out any results thus far. At the
present time there are two wild
cats in operation, one in the Clar-
no Basin and the other in Mitchell
anticline. Clarno Basin Oil Co. is
down below 1858 feet and they in
tend to test some showings of gas
and oil. The second well is financed
by the Northwest Petroleum Corp.
OF Portland. This well is down
1888 feet at present and is resum-
ing after running 6 5-S-inch casing
They expect production at not more
than $500 feet. This Is on Mitchell
anticline. a large uplift which may
contain several pools, once oil is
found.

HOBSON TEST MAS
PIPE SET At 1900

F. e. Hunt, Iowa operator who
is testing Hobson dome, stopped In
Great Falls en- route to Glacier
Park, reporting that his well at
Hobson is now down below 1900
feet. having cemented a string OF
8 5-8th pipe above the Pennsyl-
vania line. He will wait four days
for the cement to set. He states that
the drill has been working in white
and red lime formation since en-
tering the quadrant. He expected to
test all Of the Quadrant sands and
to reach the top OF the Madison
lime, with the present test which is
his third attempt. Showings OF oil
have been found at shallow depths.
Location is NV SEA NEA 3O-14-
Mise.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1937-07-10

Since the pipeline runs of the
field equal merely the capacity Of
the refineries named, the new drill
ling is in outlying locations where
operators are taking leases in here
tofore disproven areas which are
now being made productive by the
use OF acid.
In the newly developed Kelvin high
gravity oil pool there is no pipeline
connection whatever although this
crude Is by far the finest refinery
stock In north Montana. The oil
tests better than 40 degrees Be-, and
is sweet" crude. The only market
TINS far is to farmers who haul It
away in barrels and tank wagons.
Otherwise. no oil would be sold
from this five-mile-square pool.
For once, there are no rumors of
refinerles to be built. but operators
are confident that the time Is at
hand for the construction OF a large
plant, since crude has been made
available by the present drilling
program in this field and the excess
production of Cut Bank.
The past week saw no important
compilations, field activity having
slowed down as a result OF the
Fourth of July holiday.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1937-07-10

Against this excess OF consump-
ton over production is a storage
reserve OF ,1,369,719 barrels as of
June /, of which tine refiners have
enough to last them 81 days. The
remainder is held by producers,
who have stored 176,637 barrels,
transporters and purchasers for
storage.
Observers say that the storage sit
uation is not alarming for this
time Of the year Buyers are TAX
ing only the amount of oil needed.
The largest amount of operator
owned storage oil is in Cut Bank
with 72,206 barrels, said to be
largely held by one producer.
Against the exports of crude,
largely to Canada, were imports of
1919 barrels per day, from Wyom-
ing, for use in south-Montana re-
fineries.
May was the first month of this
year when consumption exceeded
production, even though the May
production was the largest of the
present year, exceeding April pro-
duction by 1926 barrels, or more
than 1000 barrels per day.

Daniel B. Carroll, head Of the

effective August /, according to
announcement in Great Falls this
week. The company is actively en-
gagged in prospecting in Colorado,

no active operations in Montana.
Recently, Carroll has been en-

company has taken over a large
block OF acreage, making a ge-

operations.
Carroll is one of the early pion-
GERS Of the Montana oil industry,
having come to this state as a ge-
ologist before the drilling OF the
Montana discovery well in Devils
Basin. He was PRIMARILY interested
in the Baker-Glendive anticline.
Subsequently he was assigned to
Montana by the Standard OF Cali

development OF Cat Creek and
later becoming man
