HARDLIHIIIES
BATTLE TO
DRILL CREWS

Two strange analogies presented
themselves in two north Montana
wildcats this week:
One wildcat we'll using rotary
tools wishing for cable tools.
Another wildcat well using cable
tools wishing for rotary tools.
Both wells are Devonian bound
and are. as usual. thwarted by the
massive Madison limestone. which
has proven a barrier to deep drill
ling over the period of the is
years Montana has had commercial
oil production.
California company's test on Du-
puyer anticline, in NE Sc 4 SWA
26-27N-sW, is using rotary tools
and officials are wondering whether
they should not have used cable
tools. Reason: they have thus far
used 70 rock bits and have but
144O feet OF hole, still working in
the flint-like Madison lime. They
say that this Is enough rock bits
to drill $4,000 feet of hole in
California. One rock bit was worn
smooth with eight feet Of drilling.
This test, located on the very
face OF the east slope OF the Rocky
Mountains, started ia the Kootenai
and expected the Devonian at around
1850. but apparently Is cutting the
limestone at an angle. Rotary
drillers In Canada are drilling the
Madison lime in the mountainous
regions but their bits and technique
apparently do not apply to the
Dupuyer anticline.
twenty-five miles west II the
Dupuyer test Is the Gulf OiI-Zodiac
test on Pendroy structure where the
owners wish they had rotary tools,
having lost their first cable tool
we'll at 2525 feet, in the Madison
lime. The tools were lost soon
after casing was run and the crew
was unable TO drill past the tools.
Acid was used but owing to the
large amount OF water in the hole
II did not dislodge the tools. Nitro ]
glycerin was used to shoot off the /
casing but when a swedge was run,
this too was lost In the hole. That
was the GROWING event OF six weeks
Of fishing and finally determined
the abandonment OF this hole.
Another well is TO be drilled inn |
mediately, It is understood. whether
a new location viii be chosen or
the rig moved only few feet has
not yet been determined. This
we'll seyed to definitely establish
The presence of a fault, which had |
ong been suspected and which was
determined by geophysical survey
before starting this test. This /
'ault is expected to form the clo-
lure for important oil pools in the
Oeyonian formation.

SMITH BUYS
&S PIPELINE

The 4-inch pipeline OF Transit
& Storage company from East
Kevin-Sunburst to Coutts, via sun
burst. was this week purchased by
LaRue Smith and associates OF
Great Falls, who are taking inn
mediate possession.
The % -mfle pipeline with $751;
OOO barrels Of storage represented
an investment in excess OF $500,
600, but the amount OF the con-
sideration in this transaction was
not given. Built in 1927 by Mon
tana Pipeline company, 1t carried
oil to the Maple Leaf refinery al
Coutts. subsequently 1t was pur-
chased. along with the Maple Leaf
plant, by Imperial OIL company
which operated in Montana as Tran
sit & Storage company. With the
development of Cut Bank oil field.
the Imperial curtailed its Kelvin pur-
ehases until the development OF Tur-
ner Valley when Imperial discon-
tinued all Kelvin purchases and the
pipeline has been idle for more than
a year.
Included in the purchase was the

CHAMBERS
PREPARES TO
Drill. Deep

Work started this week on the
proposed Characterization deep
test in Pondera oil field, a crew
starting to condition the hole for
the resumption Of drilling through
the Madison lime to the. Devonian.
Location is in the north part Of
the field, in SW SEA SWA 3-27N-
4W. Hole stands at 1920 feet
and was drilled with 8-inch tools to
a short distance above the Madison
lime contact which was at 1898.
The crew is shutting off water en-
in the first 'abreak" in
the lime before proceeding into the
lime, with cable tools.
Practically all the Independent
operators and many landowners have
to the cost of the adj
ditional 500 to 500 feet, to deter
mine what lays in unexplored for
nations below the Madison lime.
A we'll drilled into the Devonian
off structure, north of Conrad, had
a good showing Of oil either at the
bottom of the Madison lime or the
top of the Devonian, giving rise to
the belief that the OH found at the
top Of the Madison lime in Pondera
oil field is coming up through
cracks in the massive lime.

all the necessities of life and many
OF its luxuries.

The adaptation OF the words of
the song refers to the former Sun
burst butcher boy who has brought
in one of the best wells of the year
in Kevin-Sunburst.
Perron's cognomen has changed
from Butch" to Lucky Joe" since
he went into oil operations, because
each well he has drilled has been a
good one. His Hugh No. 2, less
than 1000 feet from one OF the
@leanest" wells in the Rocky Ridge
pool OF Kevin1Sunburst field, was
put on production during the past
week and it is making between ESQ
and 500 barrels of oil per day on
a slow stroke. Back pressure is
being maintained to hold back pos
sible water invasion, although no
water has appeared with the oil.
Perron-Hugi No. 2, center NEA
NwH 11-S5N-3W, is said by Kevin
operators to have the features Of
the best wells in this field. L is
producing from a very porous lime
sand" quite like brown graduated
sugar. making higher gravity oil
than his No. / we'll, in the south
west corner of the same 40 acres,
and shows no water.
Wells in this area usually have
a small showing OF oil when drilled
in. They are made commercial by a
shot of hydrochloric acid. The near
by Nepstad-Haugen No. 2, in NV
NV u ME u II, was nursed into
small production by careful hard
ling, indicating to many that 1t is
some distance away from the crack
or fracture in the Madison lime
through which oil migrates verti-
cally from lower horizons, to Sc
trapped in porous materials at the
top of the big lime. The Perron
we'll apparently struck the crack
or fissure, so no acid was required.
The well appears to be comparable
with some Of the famous producers
of the early days of the field. |
Among these wells which were be- |
lieved to have tapped a lime crack |
were the Ohio-Baker No. which |
has made in excess of a milton |
dollars worth of oil and the Full |
ton-Byrne No. which made q mil !
lion dollars for its owners in the
first Is months of production.

MOA0POLYH
HERE AGAIN
IN new GUlSE

The editor OF the Journal has just
completed reading "Rebirth OF Mon
upoly" by William j. Kemnitzer,
after having loaned the volume to
several Montana operators who
read with interest the authors COM
ments on the results OF proration
and controlled production. Kermit
ger concludes that the new fad of
having the government run every
thing has been solemnly adopted by
major oil companies and adapted
to a new scheme of monopoly. How
ever. he concludes that the gov
eminent must take a hostile attitude
to curb monopoly in the oil industry
The administration, especially
the department OF justice, is report
ed to have placed the oil industry
close to the top of the list in the
forthcoming antimonopoly program.
Kemnitzer's thesis Is that "a
private monopoly is being reborn
In the petroleum industry of the
United States, and that the rebirth
of such a monopoly is found to be
TO the established form
OF government and to the public
welfare"
He claims that the industry has

CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 90
Into history's long parade walked to-
day the pale ghost Of boy drowned
at least 100000 years ago, the single
representative of more than so blank
milleniums in the record of the human
race on earth.
He appeared under the. mystery
story label of the "Swanscombe FOSSIL:
a very pallid ghost, indeed, since two
small bones of the top of his skull
are all that remain of him. Efforts
to reconstruct the unfortunate youth
himself from these fragments aroused
a decided controversy.
His Importance lies in his position
in the ghost parade. Almost 100000
years ago there lived in Western Eu-
rope subhuman, superape creature
known only from single very heavy
jawbone found near Heidelberg in
Germany. After this ancient type
there has been up to the present a
