NORTHWEST
EXTENSIONS

Search for west an north exten-
sions of Kevin-Sunburst field con
tinued during the past week as two
more wells were started beyond
the present producing limits.
Pfabe & Engellking successful In
dependent producers, this week NOV
ed a rig to the SWA SWA 26-
35-4W, a mile southwest Of the
Tarrant- BarkulOO well now drill
ing, and will driH, hoping 10 get a
west extension OF the Highly profit
able Kelvin Light oil pool. This well
is more than three miles from the
nearest production but in an area
where pioneer wells had showings
OF oil. A showing OF oil coupled
wtwth acidization means a likely
producer in modern practice, in
west Kevin-Sunburst field.
At the same time 1t became known
that Fifty-Six Petroleum, which has
done no drilling in several years,
has taken 100 acres Of the Davidson
farm. adjoining the Pfabe & Engle-
king well on the east. The latter
have a part of the Ennerburg farm
under lease. on which they furnish
ed bond to drill Immediately.
The nearest drilling we'll in the
Tarrant- BarkuoO, in NEA NEA 25-
S6-4W, which Is reported drilling
in today This we'll is checking 100
feet lower than the nearest well in
the Rimrock group. Wells lower on
structure, however, have had good
showings OF oil.
A second new well OF the week IS
being rugged up By Smith and asso-
ciates Of Cut Bank, northeast of the
Rimrock pool, toward the town Of

CUT BANK is
PREPARING TO
CURTA|L RUNS

Cut Bank saw the completion of
four wells, three producers and a
dry hole, during the past week and
operations continued to lag as op-
orators voluntarily curtailed drilling
in view of the approach Of the seas
on of reduced runs by Canadian re-
timers. Seasonal curtailment is ex-
pected next week, when the Septem-
Der schedules are announced by I'M
perial OH Co.
The best well of the week was
the Santa Rita-Shearon No. 2, G Sc
"A SWA 4-32-5W, i'm the south end
of the field. 1t swabbed 1872 bar
rels in 23 hours after the fluid
rose 1900 feet. Owing to danger of
water in the base of the Cut Bank
sand, this well was drilled only sew
en- feet in, from 3071 to 307S,
which is less than half of the nor
NAL pay"
Santa Rita-Lander No. 2, SW SEA
16-35-6W, is drilling in today, in
the Sunburst sand gusher district.
Montana Headlight No. z,
SW NWA NWA 1-34-6W, is a pro-
Queer, finding upper Cut Bank sand
from 1885 to 2774 and lower sand
from 2774 to PISS, stopping at the
Ellis at 1855. Oil rose 1000 feet
and it swaIbbed so barrels in "a
hours.
Montana HeadIight-Yunck No. 8,
NV SWA NWA 1-34-6W, found
upper Cut Bank sand from 2742
to PITS and lower sand from PITS
to 2787, drilling into the Ellis from
2787 to 2798. Oil rose 500 feet and
1t swabbed 75 barrels, having con-
siderably more gas than the No. z.
Glacier PrOductiOn-LOng No. 4,

southeast end of the field, WAS bone
dry although it had normal sands.
Sunburst sand was from 1858 TO

DOCKERY HAS
BEST NATURAL
WELL Of YEAR

What appears to be the largest
natural we'll. before acidization, OF
the present year in Kevin-Sunburst
field has been brought in by Ray
mond Dockery, Trustee, of Lewis
town. three miles northwest of the
town OF Kelvin as the most import
ant development of the past week.
Hurrying to complete on lucky
Friday the Thirteenth, the crew OF
the DOclIeay- Gunderson No. 4, GEL
SWA NWA 19-35-2W, reached the
lime pay" at $3.50 Friday after
noon. at 1852. Oil came in steadily
and it was drilled to 1857 without
showing water Jack Agan. con-
tractor who drilled it. declared that
its initial is so barrels per day and
it will make 80 barrels in settled
production.
Wells in this district ordinarily
have only a showing OF oil before
acidizatiOn. The Mcknight eabrOOk

completed last week, had about a
bailer Of oil before acidization. It is
now rated at $50 barrels per day,
after treatment with 500 gallons of
hydrOchloric acid. The Journal last
Saturday reported that the Mcknight
well was a 30-barrel natural pro-
Queer. This resulted from confused
ate reports from the field and the
well reported was actually the Cum
dersOn producer.

DRILL TWO
WILDCATS ON

Two tests are in progress this
week on folds which run up onto
Cut Bank oil field from the north,
one well at Chalk Butte and the
other on the north nose" north
and west of the Yukon discovery
we'll on North Cut Bank.

The second test is the Home

ia. offsetting Section 5-37-5W on
the Montana side. This well is drill
ing at $40 feet, where 12-inch
casing was set. The top OF the Col
Orado was found at 845 feet
Discovery of oil la either Local

of development in the north and
west areas of Cut Bank odl and gas

n EWEST DEVILS
BASIN TEST HAS
NO LIME PAY

Devils Basin, discovery oil field
in Montana, apparently thiwaTted
another chance for revival this
week when well drilled by r. G.
Tarrant in the midst Of the produc-
ing area of 1920 failed to find any
pay" at the usual horizon.
Located in SW NWA NWA 25-
11N424E. this we'll was to have
found a lime formation at 1165.
Tarrant, successful Cut Bank and
Kevin operator, expected to acidize
the lime and possibly duplicate the
success of this practice in Kelvin
and Pondera. The drill passed that
horizon with no sign of lime. A
hard cap rock from 1853 TO ITO
was a lime shell and below that
was shale containing q slight show
ng Of oil. Drilling continued and
then the we'll was ehut down, a.
