PAR OIL TAKES
OVER MONTANA
HEADLIGHT WELLS

Par Oil company Of Cut Bank has
taken over $50 acres of producing oil
lands from Montana Headlight COM
pany, discoveries of Cut Bank oil
field, according to announcement Of
w. E. Burks of Cut Bank and Herb
Kluth of Shelby. Montana Headlight
retains its gas lands and its gas sys-
tenn which supplies Cut Bank, also its
overriding royalties and its 5OO-barrel
refinery at Spokane.
Montana Headlight has carried on
its development largely through con-
tracts with other operators and by
this deal places future development
in the hands of Kluth and Burks, ex-
perienced operators who have con-
tracted the production of the II pro-
ducing wells and future production
for the use Of the Montana Headlight
refinery.
Par Oil company Is one of the pio-
neer operators of the field, having
bought the B. g. H well on the Haines
farm, first oil well In the field. The
B. 81 H. was drilled after the Montana
Headlight had brought In its Yunck'
uloSOFGAy well WAASA SAAOHSA va W
gether with commercial flow Of gas.
Under the management Of Burks the
Par Oil company has become one of
the most successful independents in
the field.
Montana Headlight was organized in
1929 by Jerome Drumheller, president;
Dan and Joe Drumheller, vice presi-
dents; Martin Woldson, w. S. Gilbert
and w. w. Powell Of Spokane.
The reported consideration for the
properties was $134,0OO with $4,000
withheld to provide for drilling obli-
cations. Included are parts Of the
Yunck, Williams and Brttton farms
including NW7NE7 and SEA Sec. IL;

NEW REFINERY
WILL BE BUILT
AT CALGARY

Announcement was made In Calgary
this week by McColl- Frontenac on
Co., Ltd, Canadian branch Of The
Texas company, Of plans to build q
3,500-barrel refinery at Calgary, to use
crude from the Turner Valley and
ether Canadian oil fields.
The plant viii be located on a 60
acre site in the Bonnybrook district
east Of Calgary and the plant win
cost 81 100000. the exact date Of start
of construction was not announced but
1t is assumed that 1t win be construct
ed this winter, to be ready for the
1912 gasoline season.
Turner Valley field, now producing
at capacity, averaged 25,842 barrels
per day during June as compared with
26,735 barrels per day In May and
% ,945 barrels for June, 1910. The new
Steveille field yielded So barrels per
day and all other fields 100 barrels
per day.
The gas-oil ratio in Turner Valley
has again been reduced to conserve
gas pressure the July allowable being
so 100000 cubic feet per day, a reduc-
ton of 100000 per day.

Cut Bank Has Thousand Barrel Oil Well
DENVER IS LONG
DISTANCE FROM
OIL INDUSTRY

The first meeting of the committee
OF District 4 including Montana has
been called by w. H Ferguson for
next Tuesday July %, at Denver. ac-
cording to notice received by Montana
members this week.
The purpose Of the meeting was not
announced but 1t is assumed that It
is an organization meeting. It Is I'M
derstood that the district staff will
include a representative of the oil CO.
ordinator for each OF the four COM
mittees IN each district and an attor-
ney for each district.
Press reports said that there would
be 80 employees in the Denver office
None here can guess what service
would require a staff Of this size.
District advisory committees have
been established in five cities, Denver
being the District f. Rocky Mountain,
office and District 5, Pacific Coast,
headquarters at Los Angeles.
There has been some talk that an
effort win be made to move the Rocky
Mountain headquarters to Casper or,
better still, to Billings, in order to get
it within reach Of a majority Of the
oil men. Colorado has little production
and an insignificant refining industry
although some Of the major companies
have their marketing offices In Den
yer.
Advisors to the national deputy CO.
ordinator have been named as follows:

ALL FOUR NEW
OPERATIONS ARE
IN TRIBAL POOL

While the Cut Bank oil fraternity
paused to pay tribute to the thousand
barrel well Of r G. Jeffries this week,
two other wells OF average production
we're completed, each with an initial
OF $50 barrels per day. At the same
time four new wells were being start
ed, all in the new Tribal pool

the new pool It had Sunburst sand
from PISS to 277O with a showing Of

from 1928 to 1888. The Ellis shale was
penetrated one foot, to 1884 Fluid
level was 1400 feet and 1t swabbed $50
barrels in "a hours.
The second completion was TexacO-

sand from 2735 to 278O was dry; Sun
burst sand from 1885 to 1850 and upper
Cut Bank from 2875 to 1898 we're dry:
the lower Cut Bank, 1888 to 2939

The well is flowing by heads, with
little gas pressure The oil followed
the tools out OF the hole as the Cut
Bank sand was penetrated and has
been flowing for seven days. At last
reports 1t was still making IS barrels
per hour
The well has little to explain It's
sensational performance. 1t had II
feet Of producing formation, which Is
not an unusual amount of producing
sand. 1t is a soft, brown. sugar-like
sand that is very porous. This lower
Cut Bank sand was from 1885 TO 1852.
The upper Cut Bank was from 27e5
to 2835, dry. The sand was not drilled
through when the well began to flow
but the drillers later were able TO
drill to the Ellis shale, at 1852, quit
ting at 1856. Seven-inch pipe had been
cemented at 2810.
The well made 1000 barrels In the
first "a hours. during which a 1000
barrel tank was moved in to handle
the flow while the Toronto Pipeline
rushed a pipeline connection TO the
well. During the second "a hours It
made 100 barrels and since that
time has made an average OF 35 bar
rels an hour, or at the rate Of $40
barrels day. Jeffries was not afraid
TO produce the well at capacity since
there is no water known in this sand
In the Tribal pool and there is no
waste Of gas
The big well will doubtless call for
another lease sale by the Blackfeet
Indian tribal council since the east
offset to the big well is Unbiased, the

the block sold at the last sale. A

FREE OIL Is
APPEARING AT
SIGNAL BUTTE

Free oil under sufficient pressure
to come I'D through 2400 feet Of water
marked developments at the Signal
Butte wildcat Of A. B. Cobb and Yale
OIL corporation during the past week.
This development came when the
cement plug used in an effort TO shut
off a flow of water at 4108 was drilled
out. The casing was not set low
enough with the result that flow
of water was found to be coming In
after the casing was cemented. A
liner was run and three efforts have
been made to cement off the flow
around the liner. On Saturday the
cement plug was drilled out and bail
ing started. At 100 feet the crew
stopped bailing for one hour to de-
termine whether water was still COM
ing IN and it was found that the col
unn remained the same.
When the bailer was run again, to
the top of the fluid, it brought up
free OIL This was the first quantity
of free oil that had appeared in this
wen. A swab was thereafter subSti-
tlTted for the bailer to unload the hole
and when another 1000 feet OF fluid
had been removed the water broke IN
again, filling it back to $500 feet. 1t
is reported that oil continues TO bubble
up through the water.
When bailing started, after drilling
out the plug, the bailer was run to
bottom to bring up drill cuttings-the
first that have been recovered. The
baiIer was filled TO this top with the
oil-bearing sandy lime formation.
When a handful OF the material was
squeezed, oil dripped out. 50 complete
was the Saturation.
A. B. Cobb, who was present at the
well. declared the formation appeared
quite like the Lance Creek formations. |
NO lime saturation such as this has
ever before been recorded in northern
Montana. The cores Of the formation
showed an oil zone Of about 40 feet |
with two streaks totaling Is feet which |
were particularly well saturated. One
was said to be 'bleeder" core. How
ever a drill stem test showed nothing
with zero pressure. Accordingly, the
free oil coming up through 2400 feet
Of water, brought surprise to everyone.
The well has been re-cemented, this
time with 300 sacks of cement, forced
back into the formation under heavy
pressure by experts Of the Halliburton
