Standard Oil Helps

Because there was some surface geology
in Midway, Midwest Oil Co. (nOw Standard
of Indiana) sent In the first geOphysicaI
crew ever employed in northern Montana to
make a survey to establish the high" Of
Midway, suspecting that the well drilled by
Montana Pacific Oil Co. was not properly
located. The geophysicaI survey substanh-
ated that belief and Midwest started to lease
up the structure under a community form
of lease which the landowners Of the area
refused to sign. Midwest took some leases
on the top contours and carried them for
10 years, investing 81 per annum or total
of $40 per acre as evidence of faith In the
structure. However, the leases expired and
Midwest dropped out.
e. b. Emrick, Conrad geOIOgist, then took
up leases on Midway, interesting Roy Tar
rant of Cut Bank in a DevOnian test EN-
rick meantime had secured second geo
physical survey, using more modern meth
DDS, made by the Holland Research Co. Of
Denver. Comparing the data Of the two
surveys, he determined that there Is a
marked DevOnian ''high" which corresponds
somewhat to the Madison lime @high'-a
condition unusual in the Sweetgrass Arch.
He submitted this data to Tarrant who rec
Ognized that he could with a well Of Cut
Bank depth test the Devonian on Midway.

The WOrst-AlmOst

And so the wOrst-0r almost the worst
has happened. The Midway test has found
oil, in the Sunburst sand. Whether it is
commercial well In that horizon is not es-
tabIished as this is written, with 10 feet to
go to drill through the sand. Our report
is that the top 10 feet Of the sand was sat
urated and despite cavings it appeared to
be a small commercial well as it stood.
A showing Of oil In the Sunburst sand Is
important in any wildcat but especially inn
pOrtant in the case of Midway. So far as
we know, this Is the first time any oil has
been found in the Sunburst sand in the
Sweetgrass Arch south of the Hfarias river.
None Of the Pondera Oh field wells had any
oil in the Sunburst sand; only an occasional
showing of gas. Likewise, the Conrad Butte
wells had no Sunburst sand shOwings. Ban
natyne had no Sunburst sand showings. So
the fact that Midway has oil in the Sum
burst sand Is pretty definite proof Of two
important things:
1. The presence of sufficient structure to
trap the oil.
2. The presence of oil in the structure.

The word MIDWAY is one Of great i'm
pOrtance In America and the world today
and 1t Is an odd coincidence that the Mon
tana oil structure, known for the past IA
years as MIDWAY should come into the
news at this time.
The showing Of oil found In the Tarrant
well Midway structure makes it appear
possible IL not probable that Midway may
become the focal point Of interest in the
Montana oil industry.
Midway structure is located southeast of
the town of Conrad and east Of Pondera
oil field, In POndera county. 1t was one Of
five structures mapped by Z. Byers Emrick
for development in 1928, when Ralph Ar
mold, noted petroleum geoIOgist, entered
northern Montana oil development POndera,
Midway, Bannatyne, Conrad Butte and
GoOsebiII were all wildcat structures and one
well was drilled on each. POndera and Ban
natyne had commercial production. Conrad
Butte, northeast Of Midway, had liberal
showing Of oil at the contact of the Madison
lime. Two more wells were drilled in the
area but the science of acidizatiOn was un-
known and the shOwings were never cap
italized. Wells on Midway and GOOsebin
were dry.

Mrs. Flaherty was likewise anxious
to see the pyramids. She had heard
they were all covered with hero
glyphics. Pat was afraid.
Don't let any Of them get on yez."
The passing of John B. Ritch, plo-
neer cowboy prospector of Lewistown,
brought to the memory Of old-timers
In the Montana oil industry the Incl
dent Of the spudding of the Gordon
Campbell discovery well north Of
Kelvin. The "spudding in" was q big
event and ranchers for miles around
gathered for the ceremonies. There
had been "build-up" to establish re-
spect and high regard for Gordon
Campbell, discoverer Of oil In Mon
tana, who was but little known and
the "spudding in" was to help in that
effort, preparatory to a big stock
selling campaign. Johnny Ritch was
called upon to be master Of ceremonies
and everyone thought he would turn
on his oratory, in introducing Camp
bell to the throng.

Our Gravest Fear

That test Is now drilling. Only recently
we commented that our greatest fear was
that Tarrant would strike commercial pro-
ductiOn before he reached the DevOnian and
Montana would again be deprived Of a De-
vonian test on known structure. This test is,
in fact, the first ever drilled In northern
Montana ON the agreement Of two geOphysi-
cal surveys. Thus 1t is important as a De-
vOnian test. Off-structure tests Of the De-
vonian have frequently found oil, but none
before has been on a known DevOnian
"high'-which fact can be established only
by geophysicaI survey.

Oil in the "High"

Midway structure is the first fold south
Of the Marias river syncIine. The presence
of ANY oil in the Devonian contact at a
point in the syncline seems to indicate great
probability of oil in the DevOnian contact
on q known "high," established by most
modern sciences of geology and geOphysics.
Our memory of the showing of oil at the
Tom Robinson well on Dry Forks is the
one thing that has made us hope that moth
ing would happen to halt the Midway test
short of the DevOnian.

Accumulation" of Oil

1t Is generally accepted that the presence
of oil In upper sands is pretty good index
to the lower sands There Is every reason
to expect that the Tarrsnt well win find
oil in the Madison lime: perhaps at the
contact (the Kelvin horizOnl or possibly in
one Of the breaks" in the lime. The Sum
burst sand Is not a source rock for pc
troIeum 1t is definitely HOST ROCK into
which oil migates FROM BELOW. Wells
drilled on every side Of Midway had no re-
corded trace of oil In the Sunburst sand.
II is improbable that this oil accumulated
up the flanks Of the structure, In textbook
style. II more than likely is present, like
ton.
