GAS EXPLOSION
kelvin FIELD
INJURIES FOUR

Three men and a small boy re-
ceived painful burns in an explo-
sion and fire which followed strik-
ing of an unexpected 100000
foot gas flow in a drilling we'll in
the Sunburst discovery pool of Kew
in field.
Most seriously burned was Paul
Coolidge, Shelby, son of H. P.
Coolidge of the concern of Cool
idge & Coolidge, Coolidge received
lesser burns, as did Abe Gahagen,
driller. and Gene Sollars, tool
dresser.
The flow, coming from a stray
sand above the Sunburst. was hit
at 1,47O feet, about IA feet above
the Sunburst sand in which pro-
duction was expected, on the Cool
idge-State No. in southwest cor
ner NWH 36-36-2W.
Destroyed by the fire were build
ings attached to the rig, and por-
tions of the rig itself. ignoring their
burns, the drillers were able to
pull the tools from the hole, which
was then filled with water to
drown the gas flow.
The fire is believed to have
started at the forge.

MARKET FORECAST
FOR MONTANA IN
JUNE UNCHANGED

The monthly forecast of demand
for motor fuel and crude oil for
June prepared by the IT, S. Bureau
of mines. is 10 more than the esti-
mated demand for May but $1,000
barrels less than the actual de-
mand for June 1899. War curtail-
ment OF demand is expected to cut
exports to offset the anticipated in
crease in domestic demand. 1t also
takes into consideration the large
stocks of gasoline.
Motor fuel demand is expected
to be 53,2OO,OO0 barrels. a gain of
Z per cent over June, 1889, de-
mand. Total crude oil demand is
estimated at S,62O,9OO Dbl. daily
for June.
Montana daily crude oil demand
for June is estimated at $4,000
barrels, against a demand of IT,
400 Dbl. forecast for May. 1t is
the same as actual demand in June,
1889.

the ONE INVESTMENT
SAFE FROM HYSTERIA

In this day when people are wondering
where they can put their money so that
it win be safe from hysteria of the stock
market, how can anyone overlook the
fact that the safest investment in the
world is to buy OIL IN UNDERGROUND
STORAGE. No matter what may hap
pen, petroleum is going to continue to
be one of the most valuable minerals in
the world. Today it is better than gold
and silver, because it is more useful
Let the stock market crash; let real
estate values drop; let the bond market
sag-there will still be millions of inter-
nal combustion motors using gasoline
and oil. Let come what may, the man
who has royalty under a dozen produc-
ing leases may rest assured that he is
going to be receiving his checks regularly
So long as there is any industrial ac-
tivity in the world, there will be mar
ket for petroleum products. The value
of oil in underground storage is certain
to INCREASE as the years go on, for
the cost of finding and producing oil is
increasing from year to year as deeper
drilling becomes necessary.
Kevin-Sunburst is great haven of
refuge for intelligent American inves-
tors. The man of wealth will buy proven
ground IN FEE SIMPLE. He may hold
it or develop it as he pIeases, according
to his own best Judgment and the bust
ness situation of years to come. The
man who has less wealth but who de
sires to put something away, will buy
part of the landowners share of the oil,
called ROYALTY. Royalties represent
OIL IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE
which must be delivered to the owners of
royalty deeds, free OF cost of production.
Thus the small investor, as well as the
rich man. has opportunity TO PUT his
MONEY IN THE GROUND for absolute
safe keeping, with reliance on the fact
that there is not only the Madison lime
porous breaks i'm the lime at the various
depths enumerated and at varying depths
doubtless, that win be found when OPP
orators cease to abandon their wells at

PRESIDENTS STATENIENT
REASSURES OIL INDUSTRY

But to the oil industry the presidents
words were encouraging. The Associa-
ted Press gave a summary of the presi-
dents statements Significant to the oil
industry was the No. 1 statement We
quote:
THE PRESIDENT SAID:
Il. THAT THE GOYERNM ENT
WILL ATTEMPT TO SEE THAT NOT
A SINGLE WAR MILLIONAIRE is
CREATED IN THIS COUNTRY. HE
SAID, HOWEVER, THAT INDUSTRY
SHOULD ENJOY FAIR PROFIT"
Least inflated of all industry is the
oil industry. Prices are even lower than
they were at the start of the war. The
war hurt rather than helped the oil
industry because it has cut down the ex-
ports of petroleum. Accordingly, the oil
industry can look to BETTER prices
to ENJOY A FAIR PROFIT.
Certain it is that the government will
encourage the maintenance and expansion
of the oil industry because it is such a
vital factor in the economic life of the
nation and a critical No. / material in
national defense. Fifty thousand air
planes are worthless without gasoline.
Accordingly, the government is going to
see to it that private capital is able to
take the IASk lHVOlN6u III lluulAB new
supplies of oil to offset natural de-
cline of present producing wells and
fields There is only one way for the
oil industry to trend AND THAT is
UPWARD.
The events of the last few months
in Kelvin field have taught us an inn
portant lesson. INFORMATION, our
stock in trade, is something that can be
rung up on the cash register in these
days Information, properly applied, has
made much money for our members III
the past; the information we now have
will make even more money for our
members in the future, If applied to sane
investments.
Our current publication this week
gives key to a NEW TREND in de-
velopment that means much to an in
telligent investor. 1t will be sent to
those who ask for it.

strated that water at the top of the lime
is no evidence that oil will not be found
below. A. Beardslee shut off water in one
of his Swears wells in the Baker-H owling
pool, and brought in an oil well in the
first break in the lime BELOW the water.
That there is no connection between
the contact and the various breaks" has
been frequently demonstrated in this
field So it is safe to conclude that the
drainage of all the oil from the contact
does not preclude the finding of large
production at the horizon where the
Fulton-Thompson came in, flowing well.
The panic of the stock market reflect
ed largely the dashed hopes of some to
become war profiteers The announce
ment by the president that profiteering
is definitely "out" caused many to sell
their stocks at whatever the market
would bring. They bought their stocks on
the theory that war prices would put the
price up high enough so that the
stocks could be sold at a profit. With
threatened elimination of profiteering,
the investors fled the market

TURNER VALLEY HORIZON
PRESENT IN kelvin FIELD

This week we were checking well logs
in the eastern part of the field and
~ upon the log of the Roxana-Kitchen
we'll in Section 3-34-1W which had a
showing of oil in THIRTY FEET OF
SATURATED FORMATION nearly 700
feet in the lime. 1t is seldom that wells
drilled to the top of the lime get more
than five or ten feet of saturation. But
in this well there was THIRTY feet of
saturation in a formation that cores
ponds to the Turner Valley horizon, near
the base of the Madison lime.
The Kitchen well was drilled long
before the days of acidizatiOn. Had
the use of acid been known then
there is every possibility that the
Kitchen well might have ushered
in the development OF the TURNER
VALLEY HORIZON in Kevin-Sun-
burst.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1940-05-25

With the completion this week of an
other five hundred barrel well in Kelvin
field we need not point out that the
Ellingson gushers reported the previous
week did not mark the end of the flow
ing wells.
Fulton's flowing we'll is. like the Ell
lingson wells, merely proof that there are
tremendous opportunities still open in
Kevin-Sunburst field If this were a
SAND field we might safely feel that
after Is years of production, with the
natural migration of oil to the higher
parts of the structure, the days of flow
ing wells are at an end. But not so in
a lime field. The migration of oil to the
surface of the lime is unlike the migra-
tion of oil in a sandstone. This oil
aecumuIates in cracks or assures in the
lime, and in soft formations adjacent to
such fractures in the lime and is not
disspated by wells in other collection
areas. 1t is not always found at the
top of the lime. Sometimes it is IS
feet in the lime-as at the Big West
Gunderson No. 8, the largest flowing
well, initially, in the Gunderson pool.
We recall that the O'Neil-Lashbaugh No.
well, a dry hole at the contact, was
not abandoned, as is customary. In
stead the crew Enormously" kept drill
ling and at a point SO feet BELOW THE
TOP OF THE LIME struck oil and
brought in a 3,OOO-barrel per day initial
production.

LINE CONTACT" Is BY
NO MEANS EXHAUSTED

The evidence grows and grows as time
goes on that the top Of the Madison lime
may still produce FLOWING WELLS
wherever any number of wells are drill
ed and acidized, because any one OF
these wells may tap a lime break or
fissure That means that the undrilled
areas of Kevin-Sunburst field may give
us more pools of the type of the Filing
son pool WHENEVER WELLS ARE
DRILLED. Certainly there Is no spot
in the country where there is greater
opportunity for bringing in an important
oil pool than the OPEN SPACES between
present producing areas of Kevin-Sun-
burst today.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A hundred years ago, the hos
pitals of Great Britain were not
nearly so well-run as they are today.
The nurses were poorly trained, and
the buildings were not kept very
clean. There was high death rate
among the patients.
Florence Nightingale visited hos
pitals in London, Edinburgh and
other cities, and with her own eyes
saw their shortcomings. 1t saddened
her to think of the sick having to
60 to such places.
At about this time she learned of
the work of Lutheran minister. He
had started a hospital training
school in a village near the Rhine
River, and women were being taught
the art of nursing.
II will go to that school," she
decided, "and will become a nurse!"
Friends of the family were
shocked when they learned about
this. "To think of young lady of
wealth and breeding taking up
nursing!" they exclaimed.
The training school, was little
more than hospital which was well
managed. The nurses learned by
caring for the sick under direction
Of those who had been trained for
years.
