In support of that view he pointed

of Equalization at Helena.
Montana refinery output in jan

and total sales dropped in Feb
ruary to 5,371,952 gallons as COM
pared with 6,326,6S0 gallons sold
in Montana in January Refinery
output dropped from 5,S97,317 gal
Ions in January to 4,91S,36S gal
Ions in February.
Sale of imported gasoline like
wise dropped from 2,171,317 gall
Ions in January to 1.719,012 gal
Ions in February. The proportion
of sales of Montana-made gasoline
to imported gasoline was 6S per
cent OF Montana-made and 80 per

PRODUCTION COSTS

According to the Petroleum Admins
trative Board of the U. S. Department
of Interior, which has made an ex-
haustive accounting study of the cost OF
producing crude oil in the United States
the average production cost was So cents
per barrel in 1881, 81 cents in 1884, and
80 cents per barrel as the average for
1931-34 For the entire period, and
covering the production reported, it was
found that 10 per cent of the oil had
production cost of under 40 cents per
barrel; SO per cent of the OIL from 40
cents to 70 cents per barrel; % per cent
of the oil, from so cents to $1.19 per
barrel; and Is per cent of the oil, from
S1.2O to $40 per barrel and above.
These figures reveal wide amplitude
in production costs, which is caused pri-
mIarily by the greatly varying size of
wells. This cost range, of course. con-
stitutes a difficult problem in utilizing
price alone as regulator of production.
Prices disastrous to stripper wells are
required to render the flow of large
wells uneconomic. A neglected element
in the practice of crude oil accounting
is the cost of replacing the produced oil
by means of new discoveries; account
iHg systems in vogue do not resolve this
question. In the long run, replacement
cost must be the deciding factor in the
price of crude oil.
We have had many inquiries regard
ing the reserves Of the State of Montana
and we have secured reprints of an
article on oil reserves, showing the DO
tentialities of this state as compared
with all others. Copies of this REPORT
ON CRUDE OIL RESERVES are avail
able upon application.

GEOLOGY

The petroleum industry is based upon
the utilization of a natural resource,
petroleum, and also draws upon the COM
ponents Of a related hydrocarbon, natur-
al gas. Petroleum is widely distribute
ed both geographically and geologically,
but is confined almost exclusively to
sedimentary rocks and tends to favor
the geologically younger rocks of the
earth The individual deposits of oil are
widely scattered, usually small in extent
and are hard to find According to
Pratt: "Of the proven reserves of oil
in the world today approximately
one-half are within the United States.
The enterprise of winning oil from the
earth is essentially a geological venture.
Oil fields are invariably the metamor-
phosis of the organic matter of former
plants. buried in the fresh water of
inland swamps, so oil forms from the
remains of marine life that are entomb-
ed in the briny muds of shallow-sea
floors"

According to John o. Galloway
who is in charge of Standard of
California company operations in
Alberta. the California Co. will drill
three wells this spring and will ul-
timately drill eight wells in an eff
fort to develop adequate produc-
ton to partly supply the company's
Burnaby refinery near Vancouv-
err or possibly to justify construc-
ton of a refinery in Alberta. Elk
tension of marketing facilities
throughout western Canada is part
OF the California Co. program. Sites

company recently took over proper
ties of Home Oil Co. in northern

contract.
