OUTLOOK FOR
OIL MARKET
IS R0SEATE

While no change in the market
or price structure of the Montana
oil industry is contemplated in the
immediate future, the industry Is
today looking forward to a roseate
future and the grapevine" rumors
/ all have to do with pending deals,
4 entrance OF new firms to Montana
1 oil fields and increased market de-
mand for crude oil.
Fairly authentic rumors have It
that two or three rather large con-
Germs are preparing to enter North
Montana oil fields. purchasing
acreage and engaging in develop
ment activities. One OF the firms
Is said 10 contemplate construction
OF a refinery. All pending deals
are said to be far too immature
to allow OF publication, but the
recurring reports of pending deals
have added zest TO the heretofore
dull lives OF north field operators.
Montana producers have curtail-
ed drilling operations during the
present year to an absolute mini
mum, with the result that they are
increasing runs from present wells
to care for increased market de-
mands and storage oil has been
since the loss OF the Canadian
market.
The national shut down, curtail-
ing 20 per cent OF the country's
production for Is days, resulted in
restoration Of Midcontinent prices
TO the levels obtaining before the
Sinclair cut of 90 cents. This re-
fleets on the price paid for oil going
from Cut Bank to Pocatello and
other refining points.
Rumors regarding the Canadian
situation persist. Inquiry from
Canadian buyers regarding avail
able crude is said to reflect the ac-
.ivity of the British military which
nay be preparing TO utilize Alberta
'rude products for military pur-
'oses. No contracts have been
made so far as is known but the
Journal Is appraised of surveys
'eing made by Canadians OF the
valuable crude.
Wars bring increased prices on
IL commodities, but this mas not
eft reached the oil industry.
irocers on every crossroads in
Iontana increased the price OF
ugar during the past week, on
he strength OF the European war,
Dparently in contemplation of in
reased demand. The oil industry
olds more closely to the law OF
upply and demand, so II is con-
emplated that the price Of crude
nd OF gasoline will not go up
nth tho actual daunapd bfFo tha
american market. The price of
rude went to $3.50 per barrel

Larson Makes
los Bbl. I'm
First 10 Days

The possibility of Sunburst
sand production over a wide area
of north Cut Bank is the outstand-
ing feature of development thus
far. The best Sunburst sand we'll
is the Glacier ProductiOn-Larson
No. 1, CIVIL NWA NEA 35-36-6W,
seven miles southwest OF the Cobb
Texaco test. The Larson No. 1
averaged los barrels per day dur
ing the first 10 days on production,
having started off at 11S barrels
on the pump.
Glacier Production company's
nearby Hall No. 2, C NEA SWA
35-36-6W, is again fishing at 1895
feet, lost tools having dropped back
into the hole after weeks of efforts
to sidetrack and cement them into
the Sidewalk This is south of the

Italo Petroleum is drilling on q
block of acreage assembled by w.
M. Fulton, veteran Montana opera
tor who still retains part of the
block and who regards this nose"
as a spot likely to have high gravi-
ty oil production at the top of the
Madison lime. 1t is expected that
the Cut Bank sand will not be
present at this location, in center
.SW 4 NWA 30-37-3W, as it is too
high on the shore line of the an
cient Cretaceous sea on which the
Cut Bank sand was laid down.
The flow Of gas in the basal Colo
RADIO gives rise TO hopes that the
Sunburst sand may be present and
may carry oil or, gas, since four
wells in the Darling pool, few
miles westward, have recently found
more or less oil in the Sunburst
sand
The hole now stands at 1905
feet, in the Kootenai formation,
waiting for Sh inch pipe No
water had been found up to that
time although water was expected
in the basal Colorado. Drillers on
the we'll say that they have every
indication of a fully enclosed struc-
ture, checking higher than sur
rounding wells.
Italo Petroleum, one of the new
est entrants into North Montana,
is sufficiently confident of the area
that plans have already been made
to carry this well into the Madison
lime should it be found that there
has been no accumulation at the
Madison contact.
The well is being drilled with
cable tools, using a large Fort
Worth spudder. M. Toles is the
contractor.

COBB-TExACO
HAS SHOWING
IN SUHBURST

A showing of oil in the Sunburst
sand promised a possible extension
of the Sunburst sand area around
the Darling pool of North Cut Bank
during the past week at the Cobb
Texaco-Vargo No. l we'll in SW
NE u SWR 27-37-5W. This well
is so far south Of the producing
oil wells Of the Darling pool that
the Moulton sand was not present.
The Sunburst sand from 1855 to
1919 had oil saturation from 1865
TO 1872, according to the rotary
core. But when rotary mud was
removed it made no oil. similar to
the er-Montana-Kruger well in
Section 11-37-5W. 1t was shut in
over night and it built up a pres
sure of 76O pounds, showing 310,-
900 cubic feet of gas after blowing
for Is minutes, also a half bail
err of oil. The presence of the gas
was not suspected until after the
well was shut in The oil is 81
gravity "sweet" crude.
The we'll has been shut down
awaiting the return of A. B. Cobb
who is now in Wyoming. He will
determine whether to shoot the
Sunburst sand with nitro glycerin
or to continue on down to the
Cut Bank sand.

showed production of about six barrels
per day. 1t was shot with another 1000
gallon acid charge and took the second treat
ment more quickly. Drillers pulled the tub
ing, used in treating, and began swabbing.
1t Immediately returned the oil used in treat
ing and at $50 Wednesday evening they
began bailing. Bailing continued through
the night at the rate of 21a barrels per hour.
Observers said that the well will pump
around 90 barrels per day The owners are
however, whether to give it an
other acid shot in the hope of opening new
production channels that might give large
production. Tarrant said Thursday night
that no decision would be reached until the
arrival of Kirk from Red Lodge but it is
possible that a 2,000-galon acid shot will
be used to open new flow channels

A new oil field became a reality in north
Montana this week, producing 81 gravity
crude from the top of the Madison lime
1t is West Pondera oil field, five miles
southwest of Pondera oil field which has
produced approximately $4,000 worth of
oil in II years.
The science of acidization was used for the
first time to make a commercial producer of
the discovery we'll, drilled by R. c. Tarrant
of Cut Bank and " NJ Kirk of Wyoming on
the Hoeschen farm, in center NE4SEH,
34-27N-5W, in the barnyard of the Hoesch-
en- wheat ranch
The well had a mere showing of oil when
drilled in, with about one and one-half feet
of saturation in the Ellis-Madison contact
1t was acidized by Montana acid compay with
l 900 gallons, forced in under 800 pounds
pressure. 1t required about "a hours to get
