MTHAULE DELAYED
BY FISHING JOB

BILLINGS-A fishing job is de-
laying Miracle oil company 's-Bafi-
ey No. 2, Round Butte structure,
Section 23-6S-23E. in Carbon coun-
ty. S5 miles southwest of Billings.
John E. Sadring. president, said:
I'VE hope to fish out our lost
tools by the end OF the week and
will resume drilling upon getting
the hole cleaned out. Progress has
been slow since resuming operations
several weeks since, and we have
had caving hole to contend with.
We hope, however, to see the end
OF most OF our difficulties in short
time, and. Of course, feel we will
bring some oil in without much
deeper drilling"

international Refining Co.
Increasing Its Takings OF
Crude In Kevin-Sunburst

Kelvin crude This will mean market for from
300 to 500 barrels per day
A further factor will be the movement of some
Kelvin oil to the new refinery now building at
Cut Bank Kelvin field will be called upon for
at least 500 barrels per day, it is understood.
This with the increased International runs and
the topping plant market that will develop in
the spring is expected to increase Kelvin runs
from the present $500 barrels to around $500
barrels per day
Present production in this field is the lowest
since 1888 before acidization introduced
Thereafter production went up to $500 barrels
per day The Canadian market was lost to the
Cut Bank field, and then when Cut Bank lost the
Canadian market a year ago, Cut Bank crude
again largely displaced Kelvin crude, this time
in the International plant at Sunburst and in
several of the topping plants.

After the cement in the hole was
drilled out, following the first at
tempted squeeze job" by Perkins,
the oil and water rose 1900 feet,
which is the greatest bottom hole
pressure that has been revealed in
the area. The water is believed to
be coming from a strata below the
oil. Under the new process, the ce-
ment is forced back into the water
strata but does not set in oil. In
thousands of wells in the Midcon-
tinent this method has curtailed wa
ter production and increased the
flow of oil but It has never before
been tried out in Kevin-Sunburst
field. experimentation on this well
by Perkins will probably be follow
ed by additional squeeze jobs" to
shut off bottom water.
In the event the oil is not com
mercial in the Cassidy Phoenix well,
it will be drilled on down through
the Madison lime, to the Turner
Valley horizon, Cassidy states. The
several biologists who have exam
ined the water and drill cuttings OF
this well have agreed that there are
still possibilities of oil in the up
per breaks" of the lime and there
after come horizons which are rel
atively unknown in this field, since
drilling usually stops at the sui
Dhur water horizon.
In Turner Valley field, Cassidy
IS informed, the operators shut off
arge flows of sulphur water at the
.op of the lime and continue down
rom 400 to $50 feet into the lime
where they bring in multi-thousand
,arrel wells. Cassidy expects TO
irill down through the water stra-
a and test the Turner Valley hori-
on.

The we'll is a twin to the Camp
bell Bradley No. 4, about 80 feet
from an abandoned well which was
pumped for a time by Campbell. be-
fore the days of acid. Porter was
employed on the we'll and believed
that the old well might have res
ponded to acid. He struck the con-
tact at 1915 and the fluid rose
800 feet While it is a large percen-
tage water it is a commercial well
without acid.
Location is about a mile and a
half southeast of the Queen City
group, between that pool and the
Adams-Hart pool. The latter pool
has gone to water and as a result
a natural water drive has developed
in the virtually undrilled space of
two miles north and west. The near
est producer to the Porter well is
the Oien- Bradley No. 8, small
pumper which came in with a large
initial production several years ago.
It is less than half mile northeast
of the Porter producer.
Two more compilations are sche-
duled for the coming week in Kew
in-Sunburst field.

Ddy1 the II n ANpOAl.
During the year 1888 the crude
oil production of the entire United
States averaged $4,000 barrels less
per day than the Bureau of Mines
estimate OF demand. or the area
east of California the crude oil pro-
duced averaged $4,000 barrels per
day less than the Bureau OF Mines
estimate OF demand.
The average daily production for
the year In all of the oil production
states, with the exception of Loui-
siana, Illinois, Arkansas and Cali
fornia, was less than the Bureau Of
Mine estimates of demand. The only
exception to this was that Montana
production exactly equaled the es-
innate Of the Bureau of Mines.
Louisiana averaged 1900 barrels
per day or as per cent In excess Of
the Bureau OF Mines estimate; Illi-
nois averaged $4,000 barrels per

WASHINGTON Senator Hatch.
democrat, New Mexico, introduced
bill to extend for one year oil
and gas leases on public lands to
operators who had dome their
best" to comply with requirements
but were unable to complete drill

Another measure he introduced

He said Representative Horton,

meetings of independent service sta

out Montana by Yale Oil corpora

Sovereign Service station into this
state. Entrance OF the Sovereign

recently at Billings.
According to C. r. Sullivan, man

this marks Sovereign's initial en-
