DISSENT BY O. NJ WEBB. MEMBER
regret that am not able to concur
in the Findings and Conclusions Of my
associates.
I attended all Of the hearing Of the
Board. and have studied the transcript
and II is my opinion that the Findings
of the Board embraced in Findings III
TO VIII. inclusive are not supported by
the evidence.
believe that the hearing was held
for the purpose OF examining into the
conditions existing in the. northern
Montana oil fields and that the findings
should be in accordance with the facts
disclosed by the testimony.
There was not, and has not been, any
charge OF unlawful discrimination In
the purchase of crude petroleum In either
the Kevin-Sunburst or the Cut Bank
fields hut many OF the small producers
In those fields did complain that they
were unable to sell their crude oil or
were selling lesser percentage than
othnS, and that In some cases where their
leases were shut down, adjoining leases
were pumping 1907 and draining their
land This was not charged TO be an
unlawful discrimination but II was claim
ed TO he an inequitable method OF pro
ducinR which resulted in both physical
and economic waste. These charges were
sustained by testimony Of practically
ali the producers. even those who we're
opposed TO proration, and some OF whom
were selling all OF their oil admitted That

BILLINGS men
ARE ENTRANTS
IN WEST kelvin

Entrance of a new company into
Kevin-Sunburst field known as
Builders oil company Is announced
by G. e. Smell Of Billings, the new
company taking over properties for
merly operated by Welsh Brothers.
The company has one producing
well and a second well on top OF
the sand. ready for acidization, on
40 acres Of the Ward farm describ-
ed as SWA NEh Section 29-35-3W,
in the Rimrock high gravity oil pool
The No. well, known as Builders
Oil-Ward No. 2, is in southwest
corner, SWA NEA Sec. 29-s5-SW.
The authorized capital stock OF
this corporation is S25O.OO0. divided
into $3.50. 900 shares of the par
value of 81 each. All of the capital
stock Is common stock and non
assessable.
Directors OF this company are
l.. A. Donahue. Carl Thorell, Albert
F. Pettitt, A. A. Nicholaus, IngVaId
Anderson, C.. ]. Baldwin and Ross
Ingle, all OF Billings. Officers are
Albert F. Pettett. president; Carl

treasurer.
Location Of this lease is in the
prolific producing portion of the
new pool where wells drilled to the
top of the Madison lime have a
slight showing of oil and when
treated with hydrocholoric acid
sometimes become flowing wells.
The oil is 3S gravity. contains no
sulphur and is the premium quality
oil of the entire Kevin-Sunburst

GLACIER IS
COMPLETING
FACILITIES

Glacier Production company
(MOntana Power Gas COL has
made application for a site
for loading racks on the Great
Northern siding at Cut Bank
and will Immediately proceed
with construction of facilities
for the loading OF crude onto /,
tank cars.
This will complete the facilities
that will make this company en-
tirely independent of other agencies
n gathering, storing and loading
its crude. Last fall, Glacier Pro
duction purchased from Toronto
Pipeline company the la.ter's com
plete gathering system south Of
township BAN. extending across
township BAN and into township
32N. to the Bonnet wells, total of
IL miles OF line. The company
now has one SO.0004barrel storage
tank and has purchased two addi-
tional 8O,000-barrel tanks from
Transit & Storage Co. Imperial
Oil CO.. at Sunburst This will
give the company 100000 barrels
of storage capacity.
Glacier Production company's oil
leases are located chiefly in Town
ship 33. extending through half of
Township "a on the north and
across township 80 on the south.
Its probably proven oil lands total
about is sections-around 1900
acres with possible reserves of
3O.000.O0O barrels.
So far as is known, Glacier Pro-
duction has signed no contract for
the sale OF its oil nor has 1t sold
any oil during the winter months.
The company is said to be stead
lastly holding for midcontinent price
for its crude. Parties interested
in the building of a 2.0O0-barrel
plant at Spokane are said to have
tried unsuccessfully to contract Gla-
cier Production crude on a price
basis similar to that secured by the
Pocatello refinery. Glacier Produc-
ton has a present potential OF
2 900 barrels per day which has
been developed largely by the con-
tinuous operation OF two strings OF
drilling tools

FOR PROBATION

There is both physical and economic waste in both
KevnSunburst and Cut Bank oil fields in the present
production situation in the opinion of o. NJ Webb, dis
sentng member of the Oil Conservation Board who
separate findings following the proraton hearing
at is fantastic notion which fathers the belief that
refinery short distance the Montana side of the
Wyoming line should buy crude oil from northern Montana
when crude supply is Immediately at hand in Wyoming"
he said commenting the possibility of expansion of
Montana crude markets. "Proraton will not operate in
any way prevent the marketing of production"
he said Proraon is flexible instrument to adjust pro-
duction the market demand and whenever the market
large enough to absorb all of the crude there will be
necessity for PROBATION Until that time the small indie
pendent producer must have of protection
against the inequitable market conditions
