Water Helps
In Recovery
Of Crude Oil

Recognizing that the ultimate guam
tity of oil that may be recovered eco
nomically from oil fields may be in
creased as a result of a better under
standing of water encroachment in
oil-bearing sands and rocks, the Bu-
reau of Mines, United States depart
ment of the interior, is conducting a
laboratory study of the part water
plays in oil production. The bureaus
study to date reveals that under GER
tain idealized laboratory conditions
and within a range of water movement
of the same order of magnitude as
rates of edgewater encroachment in
oil-bearing structures the percentage
of oil recovered increases with the rate
of water movement.
The results of the experiments, to-
gether with drawings, photographs
and charts, are given in Bureau Of
Mines Report of Investigation 1895, "a

ment in Oil-Filled Sand Columns" by

A new CROP OF FORTUNES

discovered to set up added reserves.
If Montana refiners are to have oil
next year and five years from now
and 10 years from now, more reserves
MUST be found.
Where will they get their oil?
In the first place, we know that the
oil of the future will not come from
the Corey farm, the Howling farm, the
Byrne farm, the Anderson farm-the
great producing tracts which made
fortunes for the fortunate owners in
times past. Those farms are pretty
we'll drained, after 10 to 20 years of
constant drainage.
The oil to carry on the operation of
these refineries next year and in years
to come must be taken from farms
NOT NOW DRAINED That means
the drilling of new wells i'll undrained
areas.
The great fortunes made by the
farms named were paid out at time
when the refinery capacity of Montana
was a fraction of that at present. The
month of August saw an all-time rec
ord of market demand in Montana.
That means that the royalty checks in
august totaled the largest in the his
tory OF the states oil industry. We
look back at the fortunes made by
others in the past and fail to realize
that greater royalty incomes are en-
loved today than at any previous time:
that next year will see even greater
royalty incomes.
1t is equally apparent that the people
who are receiving these royalty checks
or the greater amounts thereof-are
people who were receiving NO royal
ties back in the greatest previous pros
perity in 1926.
A NEW CROP OF ROYALTY
FORTUNES is IN THE MAKING
TODAY.
In like manner a new crop of royalty
fortunes is in the making for tomorrow.
The man who buys royalties today
will enjoy the fruits of his investment
tomorrow.
The man who owns an undeveloped
tract in Kelvin field or in Cut Bank
field is indeed fortunate. His property
will come into development at the
time when crude is most sorely needed,
and at the highest prices.
Keep in mind that the royalty
owner pays none of the cost OF
production. The increasing costs
hit everyone excepting the royalty
owner whose share of the oil IS
delivered to him FREE OF COST
OF PRODUCTION The price of
crude has already gone up and 1t
MUST go higher, owing to in
creased production costs. The own
err of the land and his assigns the
