Texas.
Texas operators learned that the
fault line pool offers an opportun-
ity to cut down the lifting costs
through the use of chokes and back
pressure. Every pound of gas
energy and hydrostatic pressure is
used to keep the wells flowing as
long as possible.
In the Aronow producer, the well
has been held down to a production
of 200 barrels or less per day, care
fully maintaining gas pressure and
holding back the water. The Ohio
Baker No. 3 we'll, which has pro-
duced over $1,25O.000 worth of oil,
is believed to be a crevice well.
That we'll was completed a decade
before the advent of acidization by
which modern operators are able
to tap nearby lime vugs or crevices.

MONTANANS USE
lcontinued frOm Page Onel

In 1881 when Governor John Err
ickson issued the first Montana
made gasoline week proclamation.
the ratio was 20 per cent of i'm
ported gasoline and 80 percent OF
Montana-made gasoline sold in this
state.
In the first four months OF the
present year 6S per cent Of the gas
oline sold was Montana-made and
80 per cent was imported.
In the corresponding four months
of the year 1887, Sc per cent of the
gasoline sold was Montana-made
and A per cent was imported.
These figures are accepted as ev-
idence of the success of the cam
paign OF Montana oil producers to
make Montanans conscious of the
Importance of developing local IN
dustries. a campaign conducted by
a Shelby committee Of the Lions
club.
Despite the business recession OF
the past four months. Montana gas
oline sales continued to gain over
the record-breaking consumption OF
1887. Total gasoline sales FOR the
first four months of this year were
29.47O,S56 gallons as compared
with 29.O95.S55 gallons in the cor
responding four months Of 1887.
In April. 1887. importers shipped
in 5,139 1903 gallons In April. 1888,

Meantime. Montana's markets
continued to expand into the Da-
kotas. Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon. exports for ADril totaling ~
761 301 gallons. March shipments
outside Montana totaled 2,e5S.zo6
gallons.
The time is at hand when Mon
tana exports to other states viii
equal the imports. Exports were on
" 557.495 gallons less than total
imports for March. However. the
consumption of gasoline will increase
during the next four months and
greater gain for imported gasoline
sales is expected to result from the
fact that Continental oil Co. second
largest distributor will have to care
for Increased demand by increasing
imports since 1t is using the maxi
mum output of its topping plant at
Lewistown. Continental and Stand
olind handle more than 500 of
the imported gasoline sold in Mon
tana.
April set new records for the
manufacture Of gasoline in Montana

apparent that Montanans can by
their patronage support local re-

The new refinery at Havre is in
full operation, using all available
high gravity crude from West Kew
in field. Much OF its-output is be-
ing used by Mecklenberg Oil Co.
of Billings which will use all gaso-
line that is not absorbed by the
Havre retail market. A novel ar
rangement has been effected with
a Billings refiner who is shipping
gasoline to northern Montana in
tank trucks. Whereas these trucks
formerly returned empty. under the
Meckienberg arrangement they
will haul his gasoline to Billings
from the Havre plant on their re-
turn trip. thereby effecting an
economy in transportation costs.
The N. c. Morton topping plant
in Kevin-Sunburst is reported OPP

By that time, they will doubtless have
largely displaced most of the present
rotary equipment. They now have a
rotary drill in use in California, that
applies the power to the bit AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE HOLE. At the
present time the power is applied at the
top of the hole on the end of the long
drill shaft. The new machine is an cleo
trfc drilling unit that was developed by
the A. o. Smith Corporation and applies
power at the bottom, rather than the top.
News regarding 1t is just coming out in
the technical papers and it appears to be
a great Improvement for use in exceed
ingly deep holes One hole drilled with
this eauipment,in West Coyote field 20
miles east Of Los Angeles. was completed
400 feet in 80 days. 1t has 1900 feet

inches in diameter The equipment is
now being tried on deeper drilling If
successful It's sponsors say IT will effect
another great saving.
Montana knows nothing of deep
drilling and its problems and thefe-
fore knows little OF the tremendous
advances science has made. AS an
example, electrical well surveying
goes hand in hand with rotary drill
ling. The deep we'll in California
actually has its production at around
10000 feet. The rotary drilled past
that horizon without knowledge that
Ii was a commercial oil sand. After
going 10 $4,000, to set new world
record. the company had a survey
made. This electrical device logged
the various sands from top to bot
tom. 1t indicated commercial pro-
fSuctiOn at the 1S.OOO-fOOt level.
The hole was plugged back to that
point. the walls of the hole shot
and the well came ina GUSHER.
We know that deep drilling is com
ing to Montana. just as it has come to
other great oil producing states We
think that the greatest production in
Montana is coming from the lower horf-
IONS. We know that when deep drilling
comes, Montana will have the advantage
of the great sciences of geophysics. of
the chemistry of acidization (Which is
already here for use in upper horizons;)
of electrical surveys and other scientific
instruments which eliminate the hazards
from deem drilling. Fifty-five hundred

RESTRICTS AREA
OF U. S. LEASES
TO 1850 ACRES

WASHINGTON-Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes has an
nounced a ruling curtailing acti-
vities on public lands by large oil
companies.
Ickes said the ruling would af-
feet greater opportunity for small
operators to enter petroleum pro
duction on public lands and would
provide additional methods OF pre-
venting waste of the nations oil
resources.
The effect of the ruling will be
to restrict individuals or companies
to 1850 acres in any one "struc-
ture" and 1850 acres in any one
state. A structure" is the area in
which an oil deposit is located.

What Is Holding Back Deep Drilling?

On a summer morning in August,
1853, a 4O-yeax~oId railroad cOnduc-
tor and his assistant. a rural black
smith, worked feVerishly around a
wooden tower A ramshackle wind
lass, turned by an old donkey
engine, wheezed into action. crude
bit attached to- "a hemp rope was
raised and dropped, raised and drop
ed as a hole WAS bored inch By inch
into land near Titusville, Pennsyl-
vania. After weeks of work the
drilling crew of two had reached a
point 90 feet. below the surface.
Another six inches into the fOrma-
ton and suddenly there was a
bubbling OF dark brown liquid.
Petroleum drilling was born.
A few weeks ago there was completed
in California an oil well 5000 feet
deep. 1t is a far cry from the SO u feet
of drilling depth of Colonel Drake. 1t
means that tremendous progress has
been made in the science of drilling.
In the Midcontinent as well as Cali
fornia, no well is considered ''deep" un-
less it is 1900 feet or deeper None
would refer to a 5,50O-foot hole as
deep test" They drill $500 feet to
get their production in Oklahoma
City-and think nothing of it. They
likewise drill from $500 to $500 feet in
However, the progress in the science Of
drilling has not been in the type OF
equipment used in Montana. Colonel
Drake could step iIsto Montana oh
fields and "ramrod" a well without
moments schooling In cable tool drill
ling there has been little change from
the principles used by Colonel Drake.
The real progress has been in ROTARY
drilling. which has scarcely reached
I-fl
DEEP drilling.
Montana oil field development start
cd before rotary was a successful drld-
ling method. A rotary rig is giant
boring machine-an auger which grlnos
its way through shales with one KIND OF
cutting surface and through hard SAND
stone and lines with another cutting
surface. The drill cuttings are washed
to the surface by a stream or water
which flows under high pressure through
the driTl stem So great is the pressure
on this stream of water that it actually
serves as a jetting machine, cutting
through softer formations just as
stream from a fire hose nozzle will tear
down an embankment
To start with, these rigs would not
drill a straight hole There was no way
Of regulating the weight exerted on the
cutting tool as the length Of the drill
pipe was increased. Furthermore, the
action of the drilling mud seals off the
formation and it was common for this
"mudding off" process to cause an opera
tor to drill past a producing sand
Science and engineering went to the
aid of the rotary drfller They not only
corrected those and scores of other minor
faults but they began making rotary rigs
lighter and more compact. To start with
1t often took more time to rig up
ponderous rotary outfit than to drill

the we'll Now the engineers have pro-
duced portable drilling units, some of
them truck mounted, that will spud
well in less time than it takes to move
a cable tool rig. The lighter outfits drill
from 1000 to 5000 feet. second size
drills to $500 to 5000 feet and there
the ''portab BILE" rigs leave off, to be re-
placed by giant outfits such as used on
the three-mile-deep hole in California.
Rotary rigs make as much as 500 feet
OF hole per day, in soft formations In
any event they are much faster than
cable tools and the cost as a result is
far less. They require less casing than
with cable tools, since they mud off
the formation, thereby effecting a con-
siderable economy in cost of pipe other
wise necessary.
Then why is rotary equipment not
used in Montana?
The answer is simple.
Many of the same drillers who
worked in Cat Creek moved their
tools to Kelvin when oil was found
there. The same rigs were used in
POndera and the Border field and
in turn in Cut Bank. These rigs
belong to small Independents, for
the most part. standard rig re
presents an investment of from S12,-
600 to $4,000. No operator who
has two or three such rigs On hand
is inclined to junk his cable tools
and buy a light rotary outfit. even
though he can see no eventful pro-
fit in the use of the more modern
equipment. Furthermore, for 1,5OO.-
foot drilling such as Kevin-Sunburst
cable tools can drill "fast enough"
Rotary drilling was used in Cut
Bank but by only one firm of con-
Tk AoIr lot 80 ~
go into rotary drilling: also ii takes
imported crews of drilIers, since
rope chOker'' cannot ordinarily
drill with "swfvelnecIz'' equipment
But that is where Montana comes to
another dead end' Until rotary equip
ment comes to Montana there will be
no deep drilling. Everyone knows that
4here is oil in and below the Madison
lime but cable tools will notsucessfully
penetrate the lower formations. 1t is
considered impossible to get through
the "poison gas which stopped the Fra
zer-Rice deep test at 5000 feet and the
TeXas-P acific-State deep test which like
wise came to grief when it encountered
this gas horizon. A rotary would mud
this gas off without a moments trouble.
That is the principal reason why Mon
tana drillers abandon their wells when
they hit the top of the white lime They
know that Turner Valley gets its pro-
duction 500 feet IN the lime, which is the
same lime as is present in Montana.
They know that TIE greatest wells in
Kevin-Sunburst got their production not
at the top of the lime but IN the lime
from 80 10 900 feet But they cannot
afford to shut off tie water and proceed
on down, as--rotary rigs would do.
