cATCaEEk'S
POSTED PRICE
is EXPLAINED

There has been much discussion
| in the Montana oil industry about
the action of Continental on COM
pany in paying q premium Of 80
cents over SIS own posted field
price for government royalty oil In
Cat Creek field. OH men say that
the Continentals posted price has
always been somewhat OF a myth.
since none was ever able 70 buy
any oil az posted field price. Prem
iums OF as high as 81 above the
posted field price have been paid
in the past by other buyers Of oil
but the recent action Of Continental
in paying q premium above its own
posted price was a precedent of its
kind.
W. H. Ferguson; executive vice
president, gives this explanation In
a letter to the Journal:
The Cat Greek crude price has
always borne a certain relation to
Wyoming crude prices, because in
the early days OF the field In order
to find a market It was necessary
to ship the Cat Greek crude out
OF Montana. In fact at one time
some OF 1t was shipped in tank
cars back to Chicago. With the
decline OF production in the field.
the field price has become less and
less Of a factor, although It is
about right in relation to the Mid
continent. Wyoming and California
crude prices. We produce the ma
jor part OF the oil produced in the
field and so far as know prac-
tically all royalty or other oil moves
out at some premium over the field
price.
With respect to the Government
royalty oil, about 25 barrels per
day are involved, which will GER
tainly show a normal decline over
the next years down to an in
quantity. It has been
an expense and somewhat of an
to us TO handle this
small quantity OF oil through our
gathering and pipe line system for
delivery TO other parties. For that
reason we felt justified in bidding
a premium that was likely to be
the best offer the Government had
and which would relieve us Of the
separate handling Of this small
amount OF oil from each OF the
Government leases.
We were actuated in making the
did by the peculiar special circum-
stances involved in the Cat Creek
'ield and 1t does not in any way
Indicate any policy.

OIL RESERVES
tContlnued frOm &c onel

to proved reserves.
| Further, the committee says that
its latest calculation of reserves
is so conservative that 1t will prob
ably have to be revised upward as
further developments take place.
That was what happened two years
ago, when the estimate as of jan
uary /, 1885 placed proven reserves
at 1917, 100000 barrels Later
the figure was raised to 10, $50, 00O,-
600 barrels when more complete
data on new discoveries became
available.
Commenting on the report, Presi-
dent Axtell ]. Byles, OF the In
stitute, said the estimate must be
understood to deal only with
"known and proven" reserves.
1.-THE probability Is that these
proven reserves constitute only a
small portion of the supply which
will be made available. But these
reserves do assure that there Is no
imminent danger of shortage.
The committee pointed out that
ii considered all available data on
production and discoveries in 1885
and 1896 and studied carefully the
record of Developments during those
years. Estimates OF reserves by
states, as of January 1, 1887, gave
Texas 6,422, 100000 barrels; Cali
fornia 1855, OO0. 900, 900 barrels;
Oklahoma 1,141,OOO,OO0 barrels;
the Rocky Mountain states-Wyom-
ing, Montana, and Colorado, $780,
100000 barrels; Kansas 56S, 000,-
600 barrels; Louisiana 524, 900, 000,-
barrels; New Mexico All 100000
barrels; Arkansas 84,0OO.000 bar
rels; and the eastern states-Penn-
sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, New
York, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana,
and Illinois-551, 100000 barrels;
making a total of 1908, 900, 900
barrels.

NO NEWS


in commercial quantities. Well No.
8, located 5000 feet north OF Well
No. I, encountered oil st approx
mately the same level as Well No.
/. Neither well has had a final test
on the $3.50 foot horizons hut both
wells are expected TO be finished
as producers from the $3.50 foot
horizon.
NO oil was found in Well No. 2,
north Of Baker, in the horizon that
produces oil south of Baker. This
well will be completed in the spring
as gas producer at the 500 and
1,4OO foot levels.
The net result is that the com
pany feels that It has opened up
an oil field in the south end Of
the Baker anticline. The structure
Is quite flat and there is reason 10
believe that It will extend over a
large area. There is no present mar
ket for oil at Baker as the near
est refineries are in the western
part Of Montana and have ample
production for their use. Before the
Baker oil will be marketable, new
refineries in the vicinity Of or east
of Baker will need 10 be provided.
However. the gasoline market east
of Baker is good as gasoline is
shipped in from a great distance
and the price is comparatively high.
While the company feels Il has
developed a large asset, stockhold-
ers should understand that Il Is
only the beginning and great
deal of work must be done before
any profit can be expected to ac-
crue from the oil business.

officers got in touch with Lyons
/ through o. 8. Steel. Lyons had
some detail work done by geologisti
who found q local high" from the
core drill holes with which the coal
deposits was blocked out.
The well Is located in Legal Tub
division IA. Sec. 25-9-17W4, west
OF the town Of Taber, within q few
rods OF a railroad siding which
served the mine and also near the
Trans-C Canada Red Trail highway.
There Is an ideal refinery site near
the well, with a supply Of water
in the river about two miles dis
tant, or an artesian flow at 700
feet.
Lyons started the well last year
and attracted little attention. A
we'll known as the Cole-Hunter, two
miles north, was reported to have
had a showing Of oil in a lower
horizon. Walter Wittlinger, general
manager, was under the impression
that he was drilling in the Ellis
when oil was found. Drillers relate
that they encountered a hard shell
on which they pounded away for
several hours without progress. The
midnight tour came on and they
continued to pound away on the
fIinA-dike formation for more than
two hours when it suddenly broke
through and the tools seemed 70 be
swinging free. The drilIer began
letting out the screw as fast as
possible and the bit continued to
cut through the formation. A toolie
on the floor commented: II smell
crude" There was little or no
gas but a distinct odor at the cas-
ing head, so they pulled out. find
ing the tools covered with oil.
They ran back in and drilled a
total of II feet in 35 minutes.
Gas began coming in and they pull
led out to find 500 feet OF oil in
the hole. After running casing It
was opened up and II flowed a
stream OF oil to the travelling blocks.
It was shut in from Monday to
Friday when tanks were completed.
1t was opened up on Friday and IT
began flowing heads. making rs
barrels in "a hours. It flows once
an hour, regularly.
Montana oil men say that with
make 100 to 200 barrels.
Reports Friday were that they
drilled 90 feet deeper.
The location is on a Topographic
cal 'shigh" in the midst OF an fri
cation project It is believed that
the producing area will be relatively
small, the structure corresponding |
in size to Montana's Pondera field.
Enthusiastically II is a highly valuable
oil field, producing 26 gravity crude
from a depth of 1900 feet.
Leading biologists are agreed that
the oil is coming from the Kootenad,
but not from a sand that can be
identified as either Sunburst or Cut
Bank sand. A sample OF the sand
brought to the Montana Oil Jour
lal office looked as though It con-
aimed lime but it showed no re-
action to acid, indicating that it is
likely Kootenai, rather than an
Ellis sand SO feet above the Hme.
Is announced by Plains Petroleum
snficials.
Deeper drilling will test the Ellis
Madison contact from which the,
'kfnf oil field, southeast, is produc-
ng. There will doubtless be lot
# prospecting in the nedghborho God /,
4 Taber. There are some other
pots within a radius of is or 2Ot
niles which appear to be higher :
Higher gravity oil may be found :
n more favorable regional struc-
ure, observers say. =
