questions at Texas Railroad Com

II am not complaining Of the
Texas Commission or Of the inter-
state compact commission but OF
dominant marketers," he said.
Sinclair had concluded a prepared
statement with these words:
IF there is to be no uniformity
with respect to regulation of pro-

The real reason why the indue-

WILDCATS GAIN
MORE ATTENTION

While no Montana wildcat has
developed anything of consequence
this year, there is growing interest
in wildcat operations.
The Texas company's test on
Absarokee structure, near Dry
Creek oil field, is drilling at 500
feet, having spudded on Aug. 5.
Surface casing has been under
reamed to $50 feet. Location is in
center SEA NWH 10-4S-19E.
r. C. Tarrant's wildcat we'll in
the Waller area south of Cut Bank
oil field, was this week reported
drilling at 1880 feet, due for com
pletion within the next 10 days or
two weeks. Location is in Sc Sc 4
NWH 1431-5W.
There were rumors in Kelvin that
an important wildcat we'll is to be
drilled north of the Rimrock pool
by people associated with the sue
cessful Rimrock Oil company which
opened up the high gravity pool in
1886. The Rimrock has since that
time produced over 100000 barrels
of oil and now has a production OF
200 barrels per day. The new area
that has been leased up is along
the range line between 3W and
4W, in township 35N, and is said
to be on the same contour as the
best production in the Rimrock
pool
There was no news this week
from the Genou test or other wild 1
cats. 4

Stop Wastage
OF Valley Gas

The Alberta Conservation Board
has taken steps to conserve gas
pressure in Turner Valley and has
cut the allowable gas flow from 1872
gas-naptha wells to 95,632,O0O
cubic feet daily. This figure is
set as the absolute limit, effective
August 1, and will not be permit
ed if the requirements for light,
heat and power can be met with
lesser quantity of gas. All gas
wastage will be eliminated.
Under the plan of Controller
Cottrelle, large drilling campaign
in Turner Valley will be started
as quickly as possible. However,
this cannot help the immediate mar
ket. Also he proposes that pro-
ducers, transporters and refiners
provide ample storage so that Tur-
ner Valley can be produced at its
maximum capacity throughout the
year, storing oil in the winter
months when the market is dull,
to care for heavier demands of the
summer season.

Active oil buying by prairie re-
finers followed a statement issued
by George r. Cottrelle, Canadian
oil controller, in which it was in
timafed that Canadian authorities
have agreed that it would be dis
astrous to produce Turner Valley
wells beyond the point of an eff
cient gas-oil ratio. Accordingly,
there will be no effort to force
production beyond present capacity
of approximately $4,000 barrels
per. day. Refinery demand, deter
mined by nominations of refiners
for crude, is $1,000 barrels per day,
leaving a shortage Of 5000 bar
rels. Well informed sources give
the information that movement on
Texas crude into Winnipeg has be-
gun as a result of the inability OF
refiners to get oil either in Turner
Valley or in Cut Bank.
