HIGHER RUNS OF
CRUDE FORECAST
In NEXT 80 DAYS

Montana July crude oil market de-
mand win be stepped up slightly over
June demand but not as high as the
actual demand Of July, 1910, in the
forecast Of the U. s. Bureau Of Mines.
The estimated demand in Montana
is 1890 barrels per day against the
June estimate OF 1900 barrels per
day and an actual demand In July,
1910. Of 10000 barrels per day.
Nationally, demand is expected to
increase but slightly over June, with
a national total of 17,10O barrels per
day higher than the estimated demand
for June and 6 percent above the ac-
tual demand for July, 1910. Domestic
stocks declined an average Of 123, 900
barrels daily during the five weeks
ended June 2.
An increase Of u percent over July,
1910, in motor fuel demand is antici-
pated.

Deputy Co-ordinator Davies said thai
"it may be that measures will soon be
required to avoid the continued COM
petitive drilling of unnecessary wells
in proven fields. When we speak OF
drilling restrictions, however, we must
recognize that the search for new
fields should be the last activity to be
restricted. Unless the discovery rate
is maintained, we shall find ourselves
not only depicting reserves, but In the
unfortunate position of being COM
PEELED to overproduce existing fields
with all the waste of oil and gas which
that entails"
George r. Cottrelle, Canadian oil
controller, spoke at the conference,
saying that with Canada importing

dian oil situation is closely tied to
that in the United States.
The only Montanan participating in
the discussion was G. NJ. McCabe Of

er each state would have a special

a CHALLENGE

The handicap of the Montana oil in
dustry from its beginning has been
lack of an adequate market. Operators
have been able to get leases more cheap
ly than any other place in the country
have been able to drill to shallow for
nations and get highly profitable oil
and gas wells But they have been with
out an adequate market Likewise. row
atty investors have been able to buy
royalties on known oil lands at prices
less than is frequently paid for wildcat
royalties, hundreds of miles from the
nearest production But these proven oil
lands have frequently remained unde-
velOped, for lack of an adequate market
Now arises a situation related to the
war which gives Montana its first
break" in market expansion. It is not
to Canada that Montana should look
for its market because Alberta will in
years to come develop oil to care for
all Canadian demands. Montana should
look east and west for expansion of its
market to secure a permanent outlet on
a profitable basis.
The war situation has brought Mon
tana into position to grasp the oppor-
tunity for market expansion There is
every reason TO believe that Montana
will in the future supply the Inland En-
pire of Spokane territory with its re-
quirements; there is every reason to
believe that Montana will supply the
Dakotas and as far as the Twin Cities,
either with crude or with refined prod
ucts, or both.
A midcontinent refiner pointed out
to us the possibility of eastern market
expansion this week, in a discussion of
this topic. For years we in the mid
continent and Texas have been shipping
gasoline into the Twin Cities from a
distance of 800 miles and selling it
at profit" he said "Why can't Mon
tana shin GASOLINE 1000 miles into the
Twin Cities and sell it at a profit?"
He expressed the opinion that under
the "new order" under Harold Ickes,
long hauls will be displaced. If it is
possible to get refined products into the
Twin Cities with a 1,OOO-mile haul, the
co-ordinator will not allow 1,500-mile
hauls to the same destination, ne said.
Everyone knows that there are re-
finers in the Twin Cities area who are
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1941-06-28

in need of crude Montana can supply
that crude. The trouble at present is
lack of low rail rates. That is a minor
problem-if someone will only under
take to work it out. These things are
certain:
It is the problem of Montana
PRODUCERS to develop the
market. The market will not and
cannot take the initiative
1t is the problem of Montana
PRODUCERS to get rail rates.
The railroads will not volunteer
lower rates.
We all remember when Wyoming
had its great Salt Creek oil field and its
vast refinery capacity and no market
he solution came when at daybreak
every morning long trainload of tank
cars filled with gasoline left for Baton
Rouge. That was probably the longest
rail haul for gasoline in history-yet
1t was done successfully. The gasoline
was sold at profit, despite the long
haul and Salt Creek producers received
a fair price for their crude. 1t had to
be done-and Wyoming producers did
it.
At the present time, Wyoming crude
is being shipped to the Twin Cities. 1t
is low-price, black crude (there is no
high gravity crude available) and its
sale at a profit to both the producer
and the refiner is made possible by re-
Gently lowered rail rates.
The Twin Cities market is today open
to Montana producers and refiners.
Montana can produce the crude, proper
rail rates can be established and the
Montana industry can sufficiently en-
trench itself in this vast market so that
producers will be able to operate their
wells at capacity and at a profit which
will enable them to develop new pools
and new fields. With federal aid in get
ting proper rail rates in the present
emergency, Montana producers can
firmly establish the entire 1000 miles
between Shelby and the Twin Cities
as the Montana trade territory. Once
these markets are gained, Montana is
not likely to lose them They might not
be gained at this time, except for the
war emergency.
The Inland Empire market is falling
into the lap of Montana, owing to the
