FOUR new FIELDS

In the annual review Of the past
years development in the oil In
dustry. T. r. Ingram OF CASPER
writing in the OH & Gas Journal ~
Tulsa, credits Montana with discoV-
cry of five new fields, by virtue
of three extensions to Kevin-Sun-
burst. The discovery wells given
are:
Montana Dakota Utilities Co.
Little Beaver dome tBaker-Gien-
dive) with total depth Of S,1zl,
rated at It's Dbl. initial.
Tarrant-Sayre, Mosser dome, yell
lowstone county, completed Dec. IL,
1885. 1896 feet, with potential OF
500 barrels. (This estimate Is CON
siderably in error.
Pfabe & NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Kevin-Sunburst west extension, COM
pleted Sept. is. 1897, at z,O6S
feet with initial OF $50 Dbl.
Cassidy-Mary Kevin-Sunburst west
extension, completed Oct. 2, 1887,
at 1920 feet. with initial OF so
barrels.
Rice Anderson Kevin-Sunburst
east extension completed August
~, 1887, at 1888 feet, within ini-
tial of 40 barrels.
The report credits the Cassidy well
with considerable importance, say
ing: Drilling on the west side OF
the old field in territory heretofore
thought unproductive proved up a
rsh sand
production and 1876 acres for Madi-
son production. The more import
ant of these wells were on the west
and southwest of the town OF Kew
in. In October, NJ. w. Cassidy's

pumped $50 bbls. per day from the
contact at 1920. 1t had only 400
feet OF oil in the hole before acidi-
zing with 500 gallons. This is new
territory, old wells only having
showings before the advent Of aci-
dization. In the SW NE of the same
section the Eagle Oil Co. had $780,
600 feet of gas in the Madison in
a well drilled in 1925
The article also halls the Cobb
State extension to Cut Bank, say
ing:
In December, a discovery was
made to the northeast OF the Cut
Bank field and northwest OF Kew
'n-Sunburst in what has been des-
ignated as North Cut Bank in A. B.
Cobb No. State. c NE NE section
3O-37N-4E. 1t topped the Moulton

100000 feet at 2,572-S5 feet. 1t
was deepened to 2,592 feet without
any increase and after running cas-
ing, we'll was shut in until spring
when it will either be completed
or deepened to the Sunburst. Eleva-
tion 1898 feet.
Regarding the West Kevin-Mid-
way pool the article says:
The discovery was in Pfabe &
No. 1 Innerberg, NV
Sc Sc section 26.35-4w, about
between the Kevin-Sunburst
field and the gas area of the Cut
Bank field. It is about two miles
west of the nearest producer. 1t
was completed in October at 2.063
feet in the Ellis-Madison contact
.opped at 1850 feet. After acidiz-
ing with 500 gallons it flowed 100
Jbls. first "a hours through the cas-
ng. The oil has a parrafin base
and tested 2S.4 gravity, a better
grade than in the field proper and
