GET CUT BANK
SAND CRUDE

/ Three wells were completed in
/ Cut Bank oil field this week. none
sensational. the best one making
1873 barrels in the first "a hours.
OF interest was an experiment
with heavy shooting in the Big
Bend pool south OF Cut Bank where
CObb-JacksOn No. 4, C sWA NEA
5-32-5W, was shot with 230 quarts
OF nitro glycerin. SO far as known
this Is the heaviest charge ever
exploded in a Cut Bank we'll.
The experiment was marred by
injury to the casing which had
been pulled up 500 feet of bottom
but the force Of the shot was so
great that II blew the pipe up the
hole. the elevator and slips gave
way and the whole casing string
dropped the 500 feet to bottom.
All but seven joints had been fished |
out Friday and progress was being |
made on the remaining fish"
The we'll had oil saturation in |
the Sunburst sand. from PISS to /
2S0S. with full Sunburst sand |
thickness of 27S7 to 280S feet.
Upper Cut Bank sand from 2S40
to $3.50 was dry and lower Cut
Bank from $3.50 to 27S0 had oil
enough to come up 1900 feet. The
full sand section from 2795 to
2S70 was shot.
This Jackson lease has thus far
produced around $4,000 worth of
oil, from three producers.
