Illustration No. l

The time has come when there is a de-
cided advantage for the person who knows
very simple thing:
How to read contour map.
Recent developments in North Montana
and southern Alberta oil development have
opened wide the pages of a rule book for
locating future supplies Of high gravity oil.
The first requisite is a copy of a good
geological map of the area. About the best
one is the United States Geological Survey
Preliminary Structure Contour Map Of the
Cut Bank-West Kelvin Border districts, GIa-
cier, TOOle and POndera counties, Montana,
by G. E. Erdmann and N. A. Davies. Con-
tours on this map are drawn on the top
Of the Colorado ShaIe with an interval Of
100 feet The numbers on the contour lines
represent the number of feet above sea level
Herewith is a sketch called illustration No.
l, which gives a general idea of contour
lines. 1t shows in the lower sketch Gig. p
the mapped contours of an ideal dome or
anticline which would constitute trap for
oil and gas. The upper sketch Zig. II is
a cross-sectiOn of the earth, down to the
HmestOneS, showing how wells drilled away
from the high" of the structure must go
deeper to arrive at common IeveI-in this
instance the top of the Madison lime.
In a publication we issued this week we
asked our members to visualize a structural
nose as the end of a high mountain ridge,
with cow trails around the end of the noun
tain. The COW trails would represent contour
lines. Such trails might continue around and
along the full length of the ridge and fol-
low around the gulches on either side. At
every point the trail would be equally high
above sea level. Thus If the canyons around
this ridge were flooded, the water might rise
up TO one of these trails Tor cOntOurs) and
everywhere on the mountain and in the adj
jacent gulches, one Of these lines would mark
the edge Of the water.
Thus we might have in this ridge con-
ditiOn similar to our illustration No. 2, which
is the cut-away end of a structural nose"
or anticline. Water entering any perviOus
strata in this buIged-up formation would
seek its own level. If there happened to be
oil in the strata, the oil would travel ahead
of the water, since oil floats on water. The
oil would continue to travel upward until
it reached the "high" or crest and there,
unable to escape, it would be held in place
by the water pressure around it. Gas might
be found above the oil since gas Is lighter
than oil.
This is not mere theory for these things
DO happen in nature. Our illustration No.
is an actual photograph of q structural
''nOse," in Teton county, where the bulge
is plainly visible. A cut-away section OF this
structure could easily resemble the pen
sketch in illustration No. 2. And If a geOl-
Ogist were to make map of the structure

it would possibly look like the contour map
in illustration No. l. wen drilled in the
center of the "high" would not have to go
nearly SO deep to reach the lime as one
drilled at the extreme edge, as shown in the
picture.
Arrived at this point person knows that
contour lines reveal the buIges. In the case
Of the U.S.G.S. map referred to, there are
scores of these "buIges' mapped. They are
not complete domes, like illustration No. 1.
They are wrinkles in the earth's surface, all
SIOping north, northwest, west and southwest
off the crest of the Sweetgrass Arch. They
form inverted troughs and oil and gas may
be expected to gather In the crest of these
inverted tr0ughs and to climb as high as
possible or as high as forced by the hydro
static water head behind it, Does it not
seem simple, then, how to find an oil pool,
with such a map as a guide?
However, it Is not so simple. Many factors
enter into the accumulation Of oil in local
"high," especially in the Cut Bank field.
The Cut Bank sands are IenticuIar. They
tense out to the east. That is they get thin
ner and thinner until they disappear en-
tireIy on the east side, while they grow
thicker to the west. However the oil in the
Cut Bank sand is where it was left by the
hydrOstatic pressure Of this region. That
pressure has receded over the ages, we now
know, but on one of the contours around
the west edge Of Cut Bank field should be
found a fairly uniform water tabIe-where
nearly every well viii get water. The water
table Of Turner Valley field has been estab-
Ished ON the west, although In the main
field no water is found with the oil. A sim
liar condition may ultimately be found at
Cut Bank
We are not thinking about Cut Bank sand
production in this instance. We know that
Cut Bank sand is mere "hOst rock" for this
oil. The probabilities are that this oil mi
grated into the Cut Bank sand from some
other sOurce-One more prolific in hydro
carbOns 1t is difficult to explain the Lander
"trend" by any other theory. We believe that
future drilling will establish a fissure or
crack in the formations which gives the
narrow strip Of production which we call
the Lander trend"
More important sim is the fact that in
the process of mountain building, when ire
mendous subterranean pressures buckle and
bulge the earth's surface, it is the SHALE
that bends into the visible dOmes and folds
Shales are somewhat plastic and they bend
rather than break.
Not so with limestone. Limestone is hard
and brittle. When pressure is exerted on
limestone 1t does not bend into a graceful
rainbow. It fraetures-cracks and breaks and
crumbIes. Thus is provided an upward chan
mel of escape for any fluids which may be

Kansas Protests
Quota Methods and
NDncin1 of Wells

TOPEKA-Gov. Payne Rather has
asked Kansas Corporation commission
to secure evidence for presentation to
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes protest
ing, among other things, cut in pro-
duction quotas for Kansas. Three spe-
cific points objected to by Kansas,
Rather said, are Cd the new method
of allocating production by formula
among the various states; 90 640-acre
spacing for drilling gas wells, and 90
4O-acre spacing for drilling oil wells.
He said production formula adopted
by OPC might reduce states produc-
ton to ISL 900 barrels daily from its
recent peak of $4,000 barrels.
Our gas fields in eastern Kansas
are shut down completely by the $40
acre spacing rule" Rainier said. "Ex-
ploratory drilling has been slowed
greatly and we believe the war effort
will be seriously hampered unless we
get some relief"
Refiners will eventually have to cur
tail runs if the present formula CON
tinues to its apparently directed con-
clusion" he said, adding, I'VE are afraid
we see the handwriting on the wall"

present In the shaIes In beds lying below the
Madison lime. In the Devonian are soft, oily
shales far more difficult to handle than
KoOtenai shaIes, as an example. Should the
exertiOn Of heat and pressure on these De-
vOnian shaIes form oil and should the OH
seek escape from the natural rock pressure
and regional water pressure from the noun
tains, the logical avenue Of escape is through
these rocks and assures In the Madison
lime. It may be long and tOrturOus jour
ney, but in due course of time the oil reaches
the top Of the lime where it encounters Ellis
SHALE.
DriIIers have long called Ellis shaIe the
eblack lime" 1t is a shaIe that drills SO
hard that 1t seems to be lime but appIica-
ton Of acid shows that IL is not a lime bat
shaIe. This shaIe haIts upward migration
Of oil or water. Only where there is severe
fracturing does the Ellis shaIe break but
there are many places where the Ellis shaIe
has been cIeaved throughout its entire thick
nesS-westward toward the mountains where
stresses are known.
Knowing how to read a contour map which
reveals where buIges have occurred, an OPP
orator or a royalty investor must have q
pretty good idea about the areas where the
lime is likely fractured. The sharper the
fold, the more certain it is that the lime
has been sharply broken. On a gentle fold,
the lime may have crumbled only slightly.
Should oil be coming up through one Of
these fractures, the fortunate operator who
taps that fracture, or reaches it by acidiza-
ton, is certain to get wen. If he is quite
a way away from the fracture he may get
only showing Of oil. If he is too far away,
he will find hard, barren lime.
In its upward migration, oil viii invade
any porous rock. Thus the Turner Valley
horizon, soft spot near the bottom Of the
Madison Iime-aIsO the "Crumley sand" or
third break from the top Of the lime. That
is as deep as Montana operators go. Near
Del Bonita a Canadian company drilled a
little further into the lime than the Crum-
ley sand and got a good 60-barrel well Any
one of MS could have done as we'll because
it was plainly shown on a contour map.
The "buckIe" was mapped and the map
published years before the Cord interests
drilled this well. 1t Is a notable fact that
the Twin Rivers well as it is called, is far
lower on structure than Cut Bank and Cut
Bank is far lower than Kelvin. Accordingly,
the accumulation Of oil in the upper Madison
lime horizons is not necessarily on the top
of the regional structure but ABOVE THE
CRACKS resulting from a local bulge or
fold no matter where it may occur.
