Where Do We Stand
Newspaper readers know that the
limit of the national debt has been
recently raised from 49 to IS billion
dollars. The latest figures available
for the actual size OF the national
debt put II at S45.S76.972,169 as OF
January 81. The per capita share
OF this debt amounts TO $3+6.iS for
every man. woman, and child in
the country. or about $1,000 per
family 1t may be of some interest
TO note that on August 81, 1919,
when World War ] was at its peak
the national debt amounted to only
S26 .596.7Ol 64S, the per capita share
being S25o.1S.
Private debt now also far ex-
ceeds the existing and contemplated
national debt The longterm pri-
waite debt amounts TO about IS bill
lions and includes - billions Of
mortgages. 10 billions OF railroad
debts: IS billions OF public utility
debts: and eight. billions OF indus
trial corporate debt. The additional
short-term private debt Is represent
ed by - billions of bank loans, 10
billion, Of retail credit extensions;
and 5 billions OF loans on life insur-
ance policies. Altogether, we have

THE "COME BACK" OF CUT BANK

The surprising turn of events in Cut
Bank has again brought into prominence
this great oil and gas field and proves
that it is far from being "all through
Instead Cut Bank field offers some I'M
precedented opportunities to inves-
tors.
These events include the compile
tion of a series of big wells and the
development of a new pool which prom
ises to be more sensational than any
other in the history of the field
Six months ago the entire industry
was agreed that Cut Bank was on the
way down-and out. Operators were
turning to other fields to get crude
enough to run the refineries of North
ern Montana. The drilling program in
Cut Bank field in the first II months
scarcely offset the natural decline
of producing wells The industry agreed
that it would take one hundred new
wells per year to keep Cut Bank pro-
ducing the normal requirements of pres
ent refinery outlets. Refiners began
looking to other fields for an auxiliary
supply 1t was generally accepted that
Kelvin field would be opened wide dur
ing a part of the summer season to re-
fill empty storage tanks to care for re-
quirements of refineries in the peak sum-
mer season.
Then came the drilling Of the lar
gest Cut Bank sand we'll in the field
located on the South Cut Bank discovery
tract, a short distance from stripper
wells. That well made 672 bbls. per day
initial. rating second only to the Lander
pool discovery well which produces from
another horizon-one of the Sunburst
sands A second muti-hundred barrel
we'll was completed on this same south
discovery tract-southward in doubt

That would not have been so import
ant had not a well drilled in doubt
full" territory south of the Lander pool
come in with an initial of 592 barrels,
producing from the Lander horizon, in
the Sunburst sand series This well re-
vealed a new sand lensing and doubt
less opens up another pool.
These big wells are in the north
and south extremities of this re-
markable field-some 20 miles
apart
Then came the completion of a 900
barrel well in a location south OF all
other south Cut Bank production-the

mite confirmation to the theory that an

Montana Oil Journal,
Great Falls, Montana.

Gentlemen
Received your contour map OF
Montana. for which l wish to thank
Won Having lived in Montana,
some years ago l find this map
interesting and also other data
published in your Oil d Mining
Journal.
would like to ask few ques--
tions concerning the geology OF
Montana. If any one on your starr
can inform me or perhaps If you
could refer my inquiry to some
geologist you may know OF.
In studying maps and other data
of prospective and productive oil
regions OF Montana, it is apparent
that all Gas far as can find) ex-
lucrative prospecting for oil Is and
has been done on the so called
"highs." domes, and anticlinal folds,
I have vet to hear of synclines get
ting attention from the drilling
angle. Why, / wonder, after so
many blank holes have been scored
on highs" as is plainly evident
from available data, does not some
one take a long shot at a trough
for once My idea, of course, is
not based merely on divergent
viewpoint. Petroleum geology gen.
orally, as I understand it, is based
on the principle that oil migrates
in the rock strata upward and is
trapped at high points or domes.
This principle is easily understand
able when applied to natural gases
which are highly expansive and
readily seek escape upwardly. But
why should oil migrate upward in
the rock strata without mott
waiting cause? OF course, where
this condition does exist that is
when oil is found in pools on
highs" it is caused by the hydro
static pressure and support from
water underneath.
1t has not been shown that
water permeates and saturates all
the porous rocks deep or shallow
in the Montana oil regions. Why,
therefore, could not a condition
exist relative to a syncline or in
verified dome. wherein the oil has
migrated downwards naturally by
gravitation and further confined
and held there by enormous gas
pressures?
What about the large Bowdoin,
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1941-03-22

gas dome. 1t is doubtful that any
oil will ever be found in that i'm
mediate region. Certainly this gas
field is generated somewhere in the
rocks far below and may be humid
reds of miles from the field itself.
Likely. enormous mother oil pools
as yet unknown, generate the gas
es found in this field and others.
Then there is the Baker-Glendive
Anticline with its productive gas
field Analogous to this structure
is an extensive syncline projecting
northwesterly towards the Cat Creek
oil field, known as the Blood
Creek-Sheep Mountain Syncline.
Who knows but what there may be
a great underground sea of oil in
this depression generating the gases
found around this area! The Cat
Greek oil field may be only a leak
through faults in the stratas being
fed by a large mother pool way
down deeper in the rocks. Indica-
lions point to this as this oil field
is definitely limited and marked by
water saturated stratas. The oil
In this field could be forced up
through faulted stratas by enor-
nous gas pressure on the mother
pool other indications in this re-
gion might also point toward the
same probability, namely the Por-
cupine Dome, with its eight dry
holes on the high. This dome
is supposed to be a perfect enclos-
ure as geological structures go
and according to "Hoyle" should
have produced oil There are many
other dry holes on the several
minor structures in this same
region.
The point I wish to bring out
is that from the persistent locating
Of we'll sites only on so called
highs" and studiously avoiding
the lows" where ever new regions
are being tested with a resultant
predominence Of dry holes, it would
seem that little or no estimates are
made OF the element of hydrostatics
involved. 1t seems to me, that
reliable (if such is POSSIBILITY esti-
mate and survey of the hydrostatics
in a selected region is equally as
] important as factual geology involv-
| ed. Fluid oil can have only two
kinds OF bases to hold it bodily
in a pool. 1t must either gravitate
to the lowest impervious bedrock
or float on water. In other words
should think oil can be found in
the cellar" as well as in the
"roof-to tops" of the earth's rock
strata.
Yours very truly,

ushered in new pool located % miles
due south of the northernmost produc-
ers in the field.
Twenty three miles of oil land is a
lot of oil land in any State and any idea
that this field will be ultimately drilled
out on any basis other than one well to
10 acres has been dispelled by develop
ments of the last 80 days. 1t has been
again demonstrated that center locations
in 40 acres may be mediocre wells and
corner locations may be FLOWING
wells; also dry holes may offset big
wells. The new Tribal pool narrowly es-
capped being condemned" by dry hole
the Pardu-Tribal No. /. One of the
largest wells in the field a flowing
came in on the adjoining 40 acres during
the past week
This means that there are many
potential flowing wells scattered
throughout the width and breadth
of Cut Bank field, when the opera
tors begin Systematically drilling
out their leases. No less promis-
ing location for flowing well
could have been found than the
Glacier Production Williams No.
2 we'll in the east central field.
Yet that we'll came in with an mi
tial flow of $50 barrels per day.
The pessimists who had begun to set
up reserve estimates as low as 1900 bar
rels and 1000 barrels per acre in Cut
Bank have had to revise their figures
upward
That revision makes a lot of differ
ence in the outlook. A minimum figure
of 1000 barrels per acre means an ul-
innate yield of 77,O00 600 barrels Each
1 900 of additional barrels per acre adds
some 3S.5OO,000 barrels of total recov-
cry for the field.
Cut Bank field has thus far pro-
duced 20,971, 318 barrels of oil of
a market value of $24,600,627.
The average oil yield per well drilled
including oil producers, gas wells and
dry holes. is $3S,633 That figure does
not include the returns from gas wells,
which have doubtless paid for themselves,
plus profit before now.
If we take out the SO gas wells
from the total of 637 wells drill
ed in Cut Bank field we have 554
