Montana Moving 5000 Barrels
Per Day To Canadian RefinerS

Montana crude is moving across the Dor
der into Canada at the rate of more than
5000 barrels per day and more than 3OO,-
600 barrels of crude has been purchased or
contracted for delivery from Cut Bank oil
field.
This became apparent this week following
a survey of the situation in Cut Bank field
where all of this crude has been purchased.
The principal buyer is British American Oil
company which owns the pipeline from Cut
Bank field to Coutts, Alta, and of which
James W. Johnson of Shelby is the Mon
tana representative. Johnson stated that his
company alone needs 10000 barrels addi-
tiona1 for fall delivery.
In addition to British-American, which
is supplying part of its Moose Jaw refin-
cry requirements, the Consumers refinery at
Regina, Radio Oil & Refining, Ltd, of Win
nipeg and Kamsack Refineries of Kamsack,
Sask., are buying all available OIL paying 81
per barrel Glacier Production company is
reported to have released a part of its stor-
age oil for export but The Texas company,
formerly the largest exporter of Cut Bank
crude is unable to release any of its oil,
having insufficient crude for its own refin-
cry, the international at Sunburst
There is no storage oil and no current
production without spot market in Cut
Bank field and if that much is available.
100000 barrels of oil will be moved out to

GAS DRILLERS
REMINDERS OF
WINTER COMING

First signs OF winter arrived
during the excessive heat OF the last
two weeks with announcement OF
plans for development of more gas
in the Shelby gas field for the Great
Falls line and for the Shelby supply.
Consolidated Gas company, headed
by James w. Johnson of Shelby,
has contracted to drill two more
wells to augment the Shelby supply
and has spotted the first one in
the center of the NEAN EA Sec
ton 4, Twp. 80, Rg. wv. on the
Fay Lyons farm.
Montana-Dakota-Seward No. 3,
well in center NE SEA 34-34-1W.
is drilling at AIS feet. This is the
first gas we'll drilled in this field
during the present year by Montana
Dakota, which supplies Great FalIs.

EXTENSION
OF RIHR0CK
POOL S0UGH I

Development of a northwest ex-
tension to the high gravity oil
pool of Kelvin field is proposed by
a Shelby group, headed by c. N
Wirighter, one of the organizers OF
the successful Rimrock Oil com
pany, who has leased UP a block
of acreage between the 1925 and
165O-foot contours, the principal
producing contours of the Rimrock
and Rocky Ridge pool.
The new test has been spotted
in the center of the NEA NWA
18-35-3W, a mile and half north
west of the nearest producer on
the Solberg farm, in the high graV-
ity pool. This location is on the H.
1. Horner permit of 100 acres. The
new concern will be known as the
Midway Oil Producing Co., and the
plan is to secure a drilling rug, cas-
ing and other equipment by trading
interests in the company. A group
of Shelby people will furnish all
the necessary cash.
Wrighter was for 13 years sup
erintendent of production and drill
ing for Big West Oil company at
Kelvin and he was one of the prime
movers in the organization of a
company now known as Rimrock
Oil company, to drill on the
Schmidt farm in an area that was
then considered condemned by ear
lier drilling. Application of acid
to wells in that area has developed
an important high gravity oil pool
and Rfmrock, in production since
1886, has produced over 100000
barrels of oil and now has
production of 200 barrels per day.
The Rimrock group were guided
at the time by the Fred X. Hous
ton contour map and the drilling
of number of wells in the last
four years has served to confirm
the accuracy of that map, in gener-
al lines, which is quite remarkable
in that the map was made in the
early history of Kelvin field, be-
fore there was any well data The
Houston map shows a local high"
in the area of the Horner lease, on
the 1850 contour. The u. S. G. S. |
map of the area shows a nose"
coming up from the North Cut |
Bank oil and gas field, further con-
firning the theory of the Rimrock |
group that western extension Of |
the high gravity pool will be de- /
north of the former drill
ing in the so-called Midway area
between Cut Bank and Kelvin oil |
fields.

EAST SLOPE
kelvin field
IS PROMISING

Further evidence that the east
slope OF Kevin-Sunburst field lie
likely 10 have an important role
in furnishing additional reserves
of oil was given this week by the
completion of another 50-barrel
we'll on the Zachor farm by Enfield
Oil company. This is this COM
pany's second completion on the
lease, taken over from Coolidge &
Coolidge. 1t is located In the CEN
ter of NV Il NV Il 2O-35-1W, east
OF the Imperial Craig producers.
The Enfield wells are more than
a mile within the proven area but
serve TO point out an undeveloped
pioneer pool in sections 16 and 81
of Twp. 35N-1W. where there was
evidence of a condition similar to
the Baker-Howling pool and where
acidization may bring in some large
producers. In Section 16 there Is
Sunburst sand production while
across the line in Section 21, to the
south, are lime producers, tndicat-
ing the presence of faulting. A
similar condition obtained In the
Rocky Ridge pool, where large
flowing wells have been found in
the lime adjacent to Sunburst sand
producers. The most recent com
pletion, the Nepstad ct al-Haugen
No. 3, having had an initial Of $50
barrels per day following acidiza-
ton. The last test made showed
80 barrels in seven hours-flowing
at the rate OF better than 800 bar
rels per day.
The Enfield wells are more than
a mile from the Sunburst oil area
of the east pool and the No. 2 had
considerable gas with the oil and
does not pump as well as the No.
1, according to A. F. Mechanic,
manager Of Enfield.

covery pool this week came In with

GENOU TEST
ENDED BY Big
WATER FLOW

Disaster in the form OF col
umn of sulphur water was visited
upon the wildcat we'll of Security
Petroleum company on Genou struc-
ture this week, leaving continued
doubt regarding the showings of
oil reported in two previous wells
in the area.
Security Petroleum-Johnson No.
1, in C NEA NEA 23-26N-3E, en-
countered sulphur water at 2255
feet, in the first break" in the
Madison lime where the old North
field well, drilled in 1922, report
ed large flow of oil. The Security
well was about two miles distant
and the structural relation has not
been established, owing to lack
of data on surface elevations of
the two wells.
The Madison lime contact was at
2120 feet in the Security well and
carried water. as did the Mortified
well. The Bannatyne sand in the
Ellis carried a showing of oil fol-
lowed by water in the base. The
main water came to the top of the
hole. 1t did not flow but stopped
over when the tools were run. This
is the highest hydrostatic head
ever found in the lower Sweet
grass Arch. It has been plugged
and will be abandoned

TURNER VALLEY
CAN'T GO ABOVE
$1,000 BARRELS

Turner Valley operators are con-
tent to hold their wells to the al
lowables fixed by the Alberta Con-
serVation Board, according to the
Western Examiner Of Calgary, which
removes opposition to the import
nation of crude into Canada to
care for a critical shortage during
the harvest season. For a time
Turner Valley operators contended
that the field might be operated at
capacity and thus provide the nee
essary $1,000 barrels per day to
care for refinery nominations.
Says the Examiner:

The thoughts uppermost IN the
minds of many young people at this
time Of the year have to do with
their long anticipated college ca
reers. In the short time which re-

with enjoyment and profit. The

and Mary Frances Mcbride, is a
preview of the daily life of girls at
college.

Frances Lester Warner, gives the
customs, traditions and history Of
Mount Holyoke, one of America S

He leaves the phenomenon less

that if you hear thunder or see

is already over, and if you are
struck you never will know anything
about it. Actually, however. more

The way in which the enormous

There are various theories explained
