HOME SET-UP

A corps of auditors, evaIuation
engineers and petroleum engineer
ing experts is today at work evalu-
ating expanded properties of the
Home Oil & Refining company UNI
der the consolidated plan where
by the Great Falls company will be
enabled to expand to complete the
cycle of the oil industry with pro-
duction, transportation, refining and
marketing facilities.
Details of the consolidation are
slowly being worked out by attor-
neys with the principals, including
Officers of the Home, Nadeau Broth
ers, A. B. Cobb and K. D. Par
dee. Eastern capital is coming in
to the Home corporation to give it
funds with which to build a pipe
line from Cut Bank to Great Falls
and to otherwise improve the eff
fieiency of the institution.
Included in the properties which
will become part of the oil and gas
reserves of the Home are the fol-
lowing:
Cobb-Pardee-stufft farm, 200 ac-
res, in E1z NWA, VIZ NEA and

FRANCO OILS is
IMPORTANT FACTOR
In GAS INDUSTRY

An important factor in the Sas-
katchewan gas development situa-
ton is Franco Oils Limited, Of
which Walter F. Thorn, British
Columbia lumberman, Is vice presi-
dent and managing director. His
company Is drilling at CardstOn and
has 1000 acres on the Unity struc-
ture in Saskatchewan with a well
bottomed at 1910 feet with 8-inch
hole and commercial gas or oil
expected within the next 800 TO
500 feet Franco Oils already has
a gas supply for Cardston in its
well near that town. 1t is con-
tinuing on down below 1000 feet,
with 1O-inch hole, for a deep test.
This company controls the gas
production at the Kinsella field,
with $1,000 600 feet of developed
gas. 1t controls through contracts
and acreage the Empress structure
on the rta-Saskatchewan boun-
Diary, to be drilled by the Minnecan
Oil & Gas Co, Ltd. It has acquired
through purchase, stock interest in
the Triangle Oil & Gas Ltd, now
drilling at Lloyminster and the
Colony Oil & Gas Co., which has
SO, 100000 feet OF daily production
on that structure.
Franco Oils Is expected to become
interested in a franchise application
In the city Of Saskatoon for which
It Is said to now have adequate
reserves.

is maintained.
Gordon Campbell, discoverer of
oil in Montana, was dissatisfied
with the failure OF his we'll to pro-
duce on Bun Head structure. at
2505 # in the Madison lime contact
His former associates moved away
the tools after 400 feet of sui
phur water appeared in the hole.
Campbell secured new tools and
during the past week drilled SIS feet
more, to a total depth of 1850,
without picking UP a break" In
the top of the lime The well is
now idle, awaiting decision wheth-
er to keep going, till a possible pro-
ducing horizon is penetrated. Lo-
cation is northeast of Waller in

The Kirk-KeIlogg No. / wildcat
in Sc NWA NEA 31-2SN-4W is
sim working on fishing job, fol-
lowing a nitro shot. Owners OF the
we'll at Conrad reported 10 the
Journal that they had three show
ings of live oil at the top of the
Madison lime. They called an acid
man and he advised that they first
shoot with nitro glycerin to enlarge
the drill hole, before acidizing. The
nitro shot was exploded and the
we'll began gassing. Suddenly 1t
bridged and the crew ran In the
tools to drill out the bridge. Sudden
" the bit broke thru and the pres
sure hurled the tools part way out
Of the hole, swapping off the wire
line as they dropped back in. Fish
ing tools quickly grasped the lost
string but both became hung up in
The casing and the jars would not
work. The line was then cut and
he crew is fishing for the two
strings. An early completion is
expected. This well is located on
he 1641-foot contour of the Arch,
331 feet higher than the Cut Bank
shore line condition and 200 feet
over than the Pondera producing
contours.

NULLIFIED BY
TAX INCREASE

Consolidated Royalty Oil company
Of Casper reported an increase in
the cost of doing business during
its nineteenth year, but the reason
was higher taxes. Says the annual
report:
Although expenses for the per-
Tod are slightly less than a year
ago, taxes for the year are much
higher than formerly and as COM
pared to other states, are equal to
more than one-third the total op-
Grating expense of the company, a
condition that calls for serious at
tentfon. A corporation is merely
the business agency of its stock
holders from earnings that other
wise would be distributed in divi-
dends."
Company reported no decline In
its Salt Greek royalties, adding that
plans are being made to repres-
sure the Salt Greek sands by gas
drive. It is a known fact that a re-
covery Of from 1870 to 17% OF the
oil in the sand is the best that can
be expected under present produc-
ing methods.
Conditions in the industry con-
tinue to improve with prices rang
ing slightly higher than they were
q year ago." the report concludes.
with the demand for OH products
each month and with
crude oil stocks lower than they
have been FOR some time, the pros
poets OF further price advances are
especially good -

Representing Of Cat Creek field

leading operators and the field may
be untitled to this end. Water
pressure in Cat Creek has receded
as the oil has been removed and the
sands at the top of the dome are
dry. Edge wells prOfited somewhat
