Like the Corrigeaux well, the Mil
Ter No. has production in both
sands. ranking as the fourth COM
mercial oil well in the Sunburst
sand in the Cut Bank field. The
Sunburst sand until this year was
considered merely a gas horizon
The Corrigeaux was the first, there
after following Huber-Montana-
crowley No. 2 in the Darling pool,
and then the Glacier Production
Larson No. 1 on the north end of.
the main cut Bank pool.
The Miller we'll had Sunburst
sand from 293O to 3015 with sat
uration from 1888 to 3095. The
bottom 20 feet carried most of the
oil and fluid rose 1900 feet, max
ing 100 barrels in 16 hours, at
the end Of which time it was MAX
ing five barrels per hour. Drilling
continued in verigated shales from
3O15 to 3O45, finding upper Cut
Rank sand from 3045 to 307O and
lower Cut Bank from 3OS0 to BOSS,
the Ellis contact. Saturation was
from 3O75 to 90SS and the fluid
level increased to 1000 feet.
A 112-foot liner was run below
1852 and producing from both
sands It made 220 barrels in IL
hours. At the end of II hours it
was still making II barrels per
hour. indicating production IN
excess of 800 barrels per day and
possibly opening an important Sun
burst sand pool in the South Cut
Bank district.
In North Cut Bank. Huber-Mon-
tana-C Crowley No. 2, C SW Il NWA
24-37-5W, was completed with an
initial of 40 barrels per day from

BILLINGS was reported in

Jack Yates of Billings, an oil man
of some standing, is a director on
the board of directors, Of the Gla-

EBB TIDE is HERE

~ACK i'm college days (quite a long
time ago, incidentally we used TO
go on clam digging parties on Puget
Sound this providing the most enjoyable
and at the same time most economical
picnic available because the baked clans
were the principal part of the lunch
NC had to think mostly in terms OF
economy in those days and. had it not
been for CLAIMS to be had for the digging,
our picnic lunches would not have been
so successful.
We always had to time our picnics,
accordingly, by the tides, so as to ar
rive during late ebb tide. Naturally, it
is impossible to dig CLAIMS at high tide.
Our greatest success resulted from fol-
lowing the recedng waters, for it is
best to dig near the water. When the
tide is coming in, it is hard to stand
i'm the surf and dig deep enough to un-
cover the seemingly evasive butter CLAIMS.
For no good reason, all this flashed
back to us during a conversation with
major oil operator of North Montana
during the past week, when he dropped
one remark in discussing the present
position of the oil industry in Montana:
we arc now in ebb tide. 1t will
turn as as the new SOcOny-
Vacuum refinery at Cut Bank starts
taking crude"
1t brought us to the sudden realiza-
tiOn that SOON THE TIDE WILL BE
COMING IN-and clam digging time
will be over.
1t may seem difficult to many people
to buy on an inactive market. People
do not ordinarily buy on a down mar
ket. They want to buy on an UP mar
ket. Some people do not even recognize
an upward trend. They recognize the
UP market only when they talk with
friends who, having anticipated the
movement, have ''cashed I'M ON their
investments At that time the great
rush Of investors starts.
To this great number of people who
wait until the market Is at the top, we
have nothing to say. They provide the
prOfit-taking possibilities for those who
on the EBB and SELL at the high.
The Montana on industry is not far
ing badly, as compared with many other
oiI-prOducing states. We have had some
Overproduction in the last year, but not
enough to worry about. At the same
time, there hiss been no incentive for
much new drilling. There are thou
sands of proven acres of oil land re-
manning to be drilled so there has been
mo- Incentive for wiIdcatters to go out
and bring in new fields.
The low ebb of drilling activity has
been the result. But If our friend Is
correct, that situation is going to change
In the not distant future.
Refineries with q total capacity of
$4,000 barrels per day are now taking
crude from Montana OH fields. The

last of the new refineries, constructed
during the last few months, is the 5000
barrel plant Of Glacier Production COM
pany, one unit of which will handle
1000 barrels per day for members of
Producers Refining company in Kevin-
Sunburst and Cut Bank fields. AS soon
as that plant is in operation these pro-
ducers-abOut the last of those who have
long been without a steady market
will be pumping their wells.
We have heard it said that many leases
in Kevin-Sunburst field, supposed to
be producing at 90 per cent of capacity,
are making all the oil they can produce,
at the present time. II they are called
upon to produce any more, it will be
necessary to recondition and re-acidize
their wells and then drill new wells to
care for natural decline.
Irrespective of Increased markets, every
oil well in the world shows a gradual
decline from day to date, producing less
and less until it is ultimately exhausted.
This decline can be halted in lime fields
by application of hydrOchlOric acid,
which opens up the flow channels and
spreads the drainage area of a producing
well. There is an ultimate limit to re-
vivaI of wells with acid. After time,
the response is not large enough to justi-
fy the expense of acidization. Accor-
dinghy, new wells MUST be drilled to Off
set natural decline.
There are few who doubt that the
Interstate Commerce Commission will
grant rail rates into Spokane and the
Inland Empire to allow Montana crude
and refined products to compete I'm that
market. 1t may require a continued
sacrifice on the part of producers, who
may have to continue to accept a low
price for their crude in order TO hold
this business, but I'm due cOurce of time,
when prices advance I'm California (as
they inevitably willy Montana crude
prices will move upward proportionately.
This is the first time when Montana
producers have joined with refiners I'm
battling for a permanent market. Here
tofOre, producers and refiners have been
inclined to cut one anothers' throats.
Now they have a common cause and,
working together, they will not lose.
The Montana oil industry has actually
arrived" It has for the first time es-
tabIished a permanent Market market
that viii belong TO Montana oil producers

our oil fields. Heretofore, Montana has
had NO stable market for its crude. Now
with millions of dollars invested in the
finest refineries I'm the country, Mon
tana can see it's definite place in the
national oil picture.
Two years ago, things looked pretty
gloomy. Everyone thought it would take
five years-perhaps ten-tO get capital

When people start thinking in terms
of elimination of topping plants, it is
certain that the "ebb tide" is here. And
so with investments i'm leases and royal
ties. Bona fide operators have been
able to get leases at virtually their own
terms in the last year or two. Likewise
royalty investors. We have bought only
the choicest of the royalties at prices
so low they afford opportunity for large
return. There was no need of buying
any other kind, owing to Lack of cOmpe-
titiOn. Many people watch the tide go
out with the attitude that 1t win never
come back I'm. Others watch it go out
with the idea that they win start dig
ging CLAIMS at the lowest point, taking
profit ON he way up. Still others wait
until their friends come Juggling I'm pals

les plant at Spokane, with a capacity
of 1900 barrels per day. Shortly we
will see completion of the 3,OOO-barreI
Glacier Production plant at Cut Bank
with a major company handling the pro-
ducts through established outlets. Al
ready the PocateTlO plant has had to step
out and get new crude supplies and is
using half Montana oil and half Wyom-
ing oil, because it was not possible to
contract the full amount of high gravity
crude required.
Montana oil and mining journal., 1939-08-05

There can be NO question but that
there is mOney-much mOney--tO be
made In the Montana oil industry. Land
owners royalties have thus far paid a.
round $4,000, 10000 to the fortunate
owners. That is many times the
total amount of dividends paid by all
the other branches Of the Montana oil
industry. From this beginning-befOre
the establishment of stable market
we know that the future win see the
Dagment of even greater sums. The ones
who will receive those sums and vino
viii profit the most are those who NOW
own royalties or who buy royalties at
''IOw ebb" prices.
Montana oil and mining journal., 1939-08-05

Meantime, Montana refineries have eX-
panded capacity else increased their
runs. A large number of topping plants
have sprung up here and there. They
are the ones who may be most fearful
of the incoming tide. During ebb tide
they can dig CLAIMS" at profitable
rate for they have the advantage of
cheap crude. But when the tide turns,
some of these little plants are likely to
find themselves without crude. Their
presence as market disturbers is most
likely to hasten higher crude prices. We
have heard some say that an increase
in the price of crude may be expected
ON or before the first of next year. With
higher priced crude, the topping plants
must go and with them will go the cut
rate products which are jeopardizing the
Montana market.

Apparently the American radio
audience listens with only half an
ear, for despite the almost constant
reiteration of the Presidents name
by local and network newscasters
(who generally pronounce 1t cor
rectly), the average person still
makes the error of saying "Ruze-
uh-velt," to rhyme with choose a
belt"
The name is of Dutch origin. 1t
means rose field" In Teutonic
languages the double 90" is pro-
nounced "oh" as in hose, close
those, never 100" as in choose,
booze, snooze.
(The coat of arms Of the Roose-
welt family displays three red roses
in a verdant field.)

of his family give the name but

he had found one of them he had
screamed at the top of his voice
