'NCLE RAYS CORNER Peters Budinq Of St. PETERSBURG

the Great aboard a rowboat on a
lake during a storm. The artist
painted him standing up in a way
which surely would have made him

A wish to have a city near the
sea led Gar Peter to plan the
building of st. Petersburg. BY royal
order this city rose in Northwestern
Russia on islands at the eastern end
of the Gulf of Finland. The place
was fitted to be a port for ships
going in and out of the Baltic Sea.
On May day in 1903, Peter cut
the sod at the center of one of the
islands, and a few minutes later a
stone casket was buried there. In
the casket were the bones Of q

Meanwhile a war broke out be-

WELL SPACING
Limited
IN PRACTICE

"A Iwidely-quoted formula, the
Cutler Rule of Well Spacing, which
indicated that the ultimate yield OF
an oil field was increased if wells
were drilled more closely, has been
REDEEMED and materially limited in
its application in a recent study
by H. C.. Miller and r. V. Higgins
of the U. S. Bureau of Mines.
Study of oil-production data
gathered since the rule first was
published in 1924 does not lead to
any final conclusion, they report,
but indicates that the use Of the
mathematical part of the formula
is applicable only to a minority of
older fields where the rate of oil
flow never was restricted. In new
er fields, where engineering or
proration restrictions substantially
have choked off oil production be-
low the maximum, the relation
between number of wells and total
ultimate yield OF the field seems to
be much less pronounced.
The report. Review of Cutters
Rule of Well Spacing" discusses
briefly the conservation and tax
background which led to the gath
ering of data to be used in estab-
fishing taxation rules for oil pro-
ducers. Working with these data,
w. w. Cutler. Jr.. then with the
bureau came to the conclusion that
there is a definite mathematical
relation between the number of
wells per acre in any field, and the
fields ultimate production.
In this review Is years later the
authors point out a number of
mistaken conclusions and miscon-
ceptions that have been made from
incorrect Interpretation of the for
mula, and describe exactly what it
was intended to mean, with ex-
amples of it's proper use. AS SUIT

ler's rules frequently has been mis-
quoted, often incorrectly inter-
preted. and many times wrongly
applied" they report. there ap-
peared a need for a Qualification
of its meaning and intent"
Analysing Cutters figures and
more-recent oil-production and we'll
spacing data, the bureau can not
yet make conclusive statements,
but does believe that "for old
fields that, during their flowing
lives were produced wide open and
to a smaller extent for newer
fields operated from the beginning
under production control, additional
oil Nigh have been recovered ulti-
mately by drilling additional wells"

Montana Oil Journal,
Great Falls, Montana,
Dear Mr. DeSchon:
I have always known that your
paper is generally first with any
news pertaining to Montana oil and
mining activities, and naturally also
other interesting news, but to be
ahead of the President of the
United States is to my idea of
thinking quite a distinction and is
entitled to comment.
In listening to the Presidents
speech at the Jackson Day Dinner
in Washington, 1 heard the Presi-
dent quote a joke which appeared
in the last issue of your Oil Jour
nal regarding a man who quit
drinking in order to be able to hear
better l came to the conclusion
that the President must have either
read your paper or is rather late
in passing such a good joke along.
Extending to you and your or
ganization best wishes for a Pros
porous New Year, 1 remain,
Very truly yours,
