SINCLAIR SAYS
OIL STOCKS IN
u. S. TOOLOW

NEW YORK-Viewing the oil
industry outlook for 1871, H. F.
Sinclair. Executive Committee Chair
man OF Consolidated Oil Corp, said
that crude oil stocks are too small
rather than too large, and asserted
that he knows OF no excessive
stocks OF gasoline in any area.
Sinclair said he looks for con
siderable" more conf hmption in
1871. and il the estimate of s to 9 q,
made by DR.. White of the Bureau
Of Mines is correct, There will be
a period OF months beginning prob
ably in the second quarter when
the increase in consumption is sure
TO be more than 1O%." This means
an additional $50 600 bbls. of gaso-
line or, roughly $4,000 bbls. adj
ditional of crude will be needed
each day, he said
Although crude oil stock figures
east of the Rocky Mountains
would indicate rs days supply is
now on hand, Sinclair said probably
less than half that amount is avail
able, for 'af the industry Is to con-
tinue funotioning, the pipelines
must always be full: hundreds OF
refineries must have working stocks
on hand; millions of barrels must
always be in transit on the water"
The same situation is true in re-
CARDS to gasoline stocks. Sinclair

DEMAND DIOR
CRUDE ABOVE
STATE YIELD

The market demand for crude
oil in Montana in January, 1941.
will be 10000 barrels a day, against
the December forecast of 1900
barrels, according to the monthly
forecast of the U. S. Bureau Of
Mines, which forsees an increase
of percent in the daily average
domestic demand for all oils in the
year 1871 in the United States.
The actual daily market demand
in January, 1910 in Montana was
1900 barrels. so the e innate for
per day greater.
The daily market demand fore
cast is greater than the present
daily production of all Montana oil
fields, which is averaging slightly
above $4,000 barrels per day. This
would indicate that refiners will
likely be 1hort of oil amid the
peak refinery demands coming next
spring.
The increase of s percent in the
daily average domestic demand for
all oila in 1941, including special
defense requirements and stocks,
seems a reasonable and conservative
assumption, assuming no dratHic
changes in international relation,
the forecast states. This would a
mount to an actual increase of
about 102 million barrels for the
year A further loss in exports
might reduce thi' figure to a
percent increase in the total de-
mand for all oils, a gain of about
81 million barrels in 1941 over
1910.
Crude production Of about g.
100000 barrels daily in 1910 will
be in excess OF demand as indicat-
ed by an estimated increace in the
stocks of all oils (crude and re-
fined) of about 40 million barrels
for the year Consequently, the
same rate of production in 1941,
with no stock changer would sup
ply almost one-half of the in
creased demand for all oils (87
million) as estimated above the
remaining increase of AZ million
barrels in the demand for all oils
might be met by stock decreases
Of 10 millions. by Increased imports

plain because my income is not larger
and then l stop to think that it would
be better to keep the oil in the
ground than to produce a greater
volume of it at present prices. :"
He expressed the opinion that higher
prices are coming. owing to the natural
result of the law of supply and demand
At that time there will be incentive for
the operators to drill more wells and
sell the oil and the royalty owner will
benehf both from the increased produc-
ton Of oil and higher prices.
There is no person of any consequence
who does not save something from his
earnings, no matter how large or how
small. He puts that money to work He
does not turn his money loose like an
orphan. either in a public institution OF
on the streets to make its own way He

MENTS as he puts into the earning of

With his own energy and supervision is

The man who buys oil royalties buys
OIL IN UNDERGROUND STORAGE and
gets deed which is the same as deed
to a lot or a tract of farm land except
for the provision that the oil must be
delivered 10 him FREE OF COST OF
PRODUCTION by anyone who ever drills
that land and produces any oil. If the
land contains 5000 barrels to each acre.
the owner of % royalty owns so barrels
of oil under each acre. That oil is tax
free so long as it stays in the ground.
That oil is safe from theft or molesta-
ton. Should an operator on an adjoin-
ing tract start draining the oil away.
the royalty owner can call upon his OPP
orator to offset that drainage by the
drilling of an 'offset" we'll.
Operators may come and operators
mey go but the title to this underground
oil known royalty oil, remains
changed No matter who produces the
oil or when it is produced. the ROYALTY
owners receive their respective share,

For several years past in Montana there
has been no great incentive to drill
owing to the fact that the loss of the
Canadian market gave Montana an over
production situation. accompanied by re-
sultant low prices. 1t has been decidedly
a buyers market"
WHAT was true TOT the CRUDE market
was likewise true for the royalty market
with the result that royalty investors
have bought royalties for ridiculously
low prices, in many instances. We have
bought royalties on proven and producing
ground for less than we ordinarily pay
for wildcat royalties. There was little
market for wildcat royalties, because in
vestors preferred buying in proven oil
fields at wildcat prices

said. Stocks of gasoline are not
really available in any such amount
as would be indicated by the fig
ures, he asserted.
Regarding proration, he said he
thinks that those who are pinch
ing down production according to
some outgrown formula are going
to find that they have mi bed their
mark and underestimated our
needs.
Concluding, Sinclair said it seem
ed to him that LESS than two
months supply Of gasoline Is very
little for an industry as vital as
ours to all industry. to defense, and
TO the necessities and well-being of
the whole country. No other in
dustry similarly situated would
think of operating on so narrow

ed. The industry had beeA choked with
storage oil which had accumulated ever
since 1885, when introduction Of acidi-
cation greatly Increased Kelvin produc-
tion and when Cut Bank field entered
into it's peak production, and when the
Canadian market began tagging, to be
completely lost in 1897 But during the
past year of 1910 all of this storage oil
has been used up. The refinerieg are
now using oil direct from the wells.
During the winter months when drilling
slows down. the refinery consumption
win of necessity pass daily production
and with the coming of spring and the
peak demand, there isn't going to be
enough crude oil TO supply the 1941
demand of refiners. That is not a
theory but a known fact.
The result is obvious The producers
who have been hesitant about investing
money in new wells will now have ade-
custe incentive to drill. They MUST
drill to provide refiners with oil neces-
sary to maintain the markets which re-
flnery expansion of the last three years
has established. Refiners are dependent
upon VOLUME for their survival under
these new conditions. So they MUST
have more oil.
That which improves the situation of
of the royalty owner. of necessity Re-
finery runs and exports in 1910 have
exceeded the production of Montana oil
wells. This has been made possible by
the use of STORAGE OIL by the refiners
There will be no storage oil to draw
upon in 1871.
We estimate that the income of Mon
tana royalty owners has been about
three quarters of a million dollars in the
year just ending. With increased pro-
duction required, it follows that Montana
royalty owners are certain to receive
a greater return in 1941 than in 1910.
New territory must be and will be
opened up both in Kelvin and Cut Bank
fields Even Pondera field is likely to
have a revival, as new refinery demand
begins absorbing this crude. There are
spots in all three fields where oil produc-
ton is CERTAIN, whenever those spots
are drilled.
To establish new reserves to insure
the future of the Montana oil industry.
new fields must be opened up. That will
mean Notwithstanding on new struc-
lures, else drilling to lower horizons.
All this means opportunity to royalty
investors and increasing royalty values
Only informed investors can capitalize
this situation. We are glad to provide
any investor who enquiries with adequate
information to justify his decision wheth-
er he desires to make an investment in
oil royalties.

the structural condition northwest OF the

A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
How To Achieve It

When we reach to tear the last page
off the 1910 calendar, there is not one
of us who is not little dissatisfied with
the past years accomplishment That is
the healty state of mind We wish our
income had been larger or we wish that
we had taken advantage Of some very
obvious opportunity we passed up or
there is something that might be better
We are reminded of the story of
Pondera royalty owner whose income
was then around eighty dollars per
day and whose great displeasure H.
Illustrates how easy it is to forget our
blessings He was getting settlements
every two weeks from Ohio Oil com
pany and this was about the time
when the Ohio adopted new system
of mechanical book keeping device
which computs the amount of royalty,
punches holes in a check which is
heavy enough so that it does not bend
in the machine, and turns out com
pleted settlement. One of these
checks in the sum of $1.100 or more
for the two-week period was re-
ceived by the royalty owner. He i'm
mediatelv drove to the Ohio Oil COM
pany office to protest. He refused
flatly to accept the check, because
this cardboard-like material would
not fold satisfactorily in his billfold.
Furthermore, he didn't want to cash
these checks. He would rather have
Ohio Oil company checks than GER
tificate of deposit from bank Thus
his great displeasure. MANY of MS
would have gladly accepted biweekly
checks of $1100 from Ohio Oil com
pany even if they had been written
on jagged tin. But it is human to
wish for something better.
1t is healthy that we should not be
satisfied with results accomplished. The
Montana oil industry has been going
through some tempestous time and we
find more of value in the future than
in looking at the past
One of our members visited the office
recently He has a considerable income
from royalties, however, he remarked
that HIS income was lower than in years
past
81 was glancing over some old
settlement sheets in checking up on
ope of my royalties recently" he
said 81 noticed that in 1928 I was
receiving $3.50 per barrel for my
Kelvin oil. Today I am getting so
cents. That makes quite a differ
ence, and I am inclined to feel that
l would just as soon have the opera
tors lay off on development on my
properties because this oil is selling
too eheaply. I am inclined to COM

of 10 million, and by a gain in
crude-oil production of 81 million
barrel. This would indicate a daily
average crude-oil production of
3,775.OOO barrels in 1871. an in-
crease of 2 percent over 1910.
The balance of possible refined
oil exports. imports, and stock
changes would indicate an increase
in crude runs to stills of over 4
percent-an average rate of near
ly 100000 Dbl. daily for 1871.
