JELL SLUGS
USED IN new
ACID METHOD

Considerable experimentation is
being done with Jelly Seal, a Dowell
product which provides a temporary
seal for stratas below a producing
horizon which Is to be acidized. The
jell is introduced through the pump
in liquid state and within an hours
time 1t sets in a gelatin mass,
latter reduced to a liquid state
because of bacteria contained in
the solution when introduced.
Jelly Seal has been used in old
wells in the form OF slugs, inter
mittantly introduced in the acid to
choke lost acid-penetrated porOsity
that acid following the slugs will be
forced into new area. The actual
purpose of this use OF Jelly Seal
will be to block porosity areas al
ready draining after they have been
cleaned up with the first acid used,
thereby forcing the acid into small
Ter porosity which normally, lacks
drainage freedom.
This new method has been ap-
piled once ct Pondera and once at
Kelvin, since released by the Dowell
research department. according to
L. r. Austin, Montana manager.
The actuaa result is not as yet
known, due to the recentness OF
The treatments but from all indi-
sationS, MIR. Austin said, this method
will Zoe an established standard
practice in treating old wells in
his district. /

RICE AGAIN
DRILLING IN

Re-entrance OF w. f. Rice in the

with the start of a well on 1000

OF the field, in SW SW 4 NEA s.

well Is now drilling at 400 feet.
The Three-in-One we'll was the
second hole started in Kevin-Sun-
burst field and was completed with
I shot drill, amid pioneering v1cisa-
tudes. Ht had a production OF five
barrels or more at the lime contact.
Although not commercial then or
now, modern methods of acidization
might have made the Three-in-One
big oil well. The Rice well will
determine what acid will do on the
northeast slope of the field.
This is the first well started by
Rice in the north field in several
years. He made fortune through
the development of the Fulton-Rice
pool in East Kevin-Sunburst. This
new test is about two miles north

badly wounded stage driver.
Before the daring read agents
could reach their horses, a dozen
vigilantes appeared from nowhere,
lashing their horses in furious pur-

bandits plunged from his horse and
the riderless animal followed the
survivors. The pursuit crossed the

Their horses were led under
a conveniently located scaffold.
Three-strand ropes, with seven
wrap nooses were adjusted on

Their horses were kicked out
from under them and the road
