DRILLING is
DROPPING OFF AT
ALARMING RATE

The June report OF the Bureau OF
Mines, just issued, shows that crude
oil production continued to increase
in June despite curtailment Of auto
mobile use throughout the country,
reflected in an IL percent drop in de-
mand for motor fuel. Stocks Of gaso-
line continued to decline rapidly and
for the first time in months the total
for finished and unfinished stocks fell
below the corresponding total Of the
preceding year. It was 87,5IT,O00 bar
rels on June 30, 1912.
There were 726 oil wells completed
In June, 1912, compared with 1899 in
June, i94l. In total initial and the
rate of dry holes, says the U.S-BM.,
the comparison was even worse-the
initial in June was only IS percent
as large as in June, 1871, whereas the
ratio of dry holes to total competitions
was SO percent compared with % per-
cent a year ago.
The increase In crude oil production
was absorbed in higher runs to stills
so the balance between supply and
in June was essentially the
same as in May. In other words with
drawals from stocks of roughly 100000
barrels daily were continued.

ASK OPC TO GET
HIGHER PRICE FOR
OREGON BASIN OIL

Rocky mountain producers and re-
finers are this week formulating pc
titions to be placed before the Office
of Petroleum Co-ordinator at Wash
mgtOn, one asking for an increased
price for Oregon Basin crude and the
other asking for either a price In.
crease or a subsidy which will make
1t possible for district 4 refiners tc
increase fuel oil output, as a wal
emergency operation.
Producers met in Cheyenne Friday
with Chairman Shannon of the pro-
ducers group of division 4 Of the OPC
TO formulate the petition for a price
Increase Of 25 cents per barrel for
Oregon Basin crude, raising 1t from
so cents to rs cents per barrel Much
Of this crude is used in the Yale and
Independent refineries at Billings.
Oregon Basin producers aver that the
price of so cents is disproportionate
to crude prices elsewhere in the Rocky
mountain region.
Refiners meeting at Denver Satur-
day are formulating a definite plan
which will offset the loss attending the
of 20 percent more fuel
oil. The price OF fuel oil is too low
to offset the loss Of the more valuable
gasoline sales and the refiners can
not operate at a loss. Accordingly, the
OPC will be asked to arrange higher
prices for products else subsidy from
RFC, as Is being provided for Mid
continent shippers to. the east coast.

TEXACO FINDS
BIG GAS FLOW
AT CUT BANK

A gas well with an open flow OF
100000 cubic feet per day was COM
pleted on the west side of Cut Bank
gas field this week by The Texas Co.,
on its Small unit in center of the
south line of Sec. 12-35-6W This is
the largest gasser of the year in Cut
Bank and the second largest gasser
ever drilled in Montana by The Texas
Co. One larger Cut Bank wen, Texaco-
Fisher No. l, had an initial of 24,000,-
600 cubic feet per day. Other oper-
ators have completed larger gassers
but of six Texaco wells this was the
largest.
The big gasser Is quarters of
a mile northeast from the first well
drilled in the field by The Texas Co.
after it took over its initial block of
acreage from w. j. OHaire of Sun
bust-before an oil field was known
to be present. It Is less than mile
from oil production and whereas many
Cut Bank wells get their gas in the
Sunburst sand, this Small Unit No. 1
is producing from the Cut Bank sand
normal oil horizon.
Completion data follows: finch ce-
mented at 2846; no Sunburst sand;
upper Cut Bank sand, 2834-290S; lower
cut Bank, 29O3-2915; Ellis, 2915; total
depth, 1921. I. p, 100000 cubic feet.

Piles of Scrap
Rubber Moving
To Fort Smelling

BY the 25th Of September the 200
carloads Of scrap rubber collected by
the oil industry in Montana will have
been moved to Fort Smelling, MINI,
according TO Frank Fogarty Of Home
Oil Co. chairman of the Montana
committee.
About half Of the scrap rubber has
already been moved much more rap
idly than was expected. A large
amount of rubber has been collected
since the drive ended, Fogarty reports.
and the total is in excess Of published
figures which rated Montana third in
the per capita collection, among all
the states.

The Reagan well is the topic OF oil
4 men throughout the state Cable tool
( operators are watching this well with
some misgivings, pointing to the fact
that no rotary drilled well has ever
responded to acid In northern Mon
tana. In each instance the formation
has refused TO take the acid. Gable
tool drillers maintain that where the
low-preSsure formations in the TOP Of
the Madison lime are subjected to the
column Of heavy mud. which Is
pumped into the formation with a
pump pressure Of 1900 pounds. acid
cannot penetrate the mud sheath to
react on the lime
The Reagan No ! well had a rock
pressure Of LOO pounds and rotary
drillers point TO Turner Valley where
acid is applied to the Madison lime
with great success. following rotary
compilations, and they maintain that
the l.l00-pound pressure will clean the
formation.
The Reagan No 2 is slightly lower
on structure than the No. and Is
drilled deeper into the lime than the
No. ! which did not reach the 2O-foot
section Of saturatlon which win be
tested in the No. 2. The upper streaks
which carried a flow of gas in the
No. 2 have been cased off, with casing
set 40 feet in the lime, the owners
planning to gun-perforate later on.
A spudder has been rugged I'D over
the hole and started bailing mud Fri

Tarrant Moves
Two More Rigs
To Midway Field

! A fishing job resulting from loss Of
bailer delayed drilling at the Tar
t-DeSteffenay No. well on Mid
way structure, west of Conrad, this
week, otherwise this well was expected
to reach the Sunburst sand, to de-
termine the north extent of the pool
Of oil believed proven by the Tarrant-
Wood discovery well in G NE1 NWa
32-28N-1W. IL is now at 1855 feet, due
TO get the Kootenai at 1855 feet.
The Wood deep test was shut down
at 2l85 this week as the crew was
called to do some work In Cut Bank
field. Drilling win resume immedi-
ately. according to Tarrant who re-
turned Thursday from Wyoming. He
is now trying 70 locate enough casing
TO complete his Anderson and De-
Steffenay wells to the Sunburst sand.
Announcement was made that two
more rigs are to be moved into the
field. one Of them a standard rig. Lo-
cations are to be spotted during the
next few days, Tarrant stated. A
spudder now used on a wildcat near
Kaispell is to be brought to Midway
TO drill shallow wells to test strata
and to develop Sunburst sand produc-
ton. Thus far the Wood well is check
ing structurally high although the
Anderson and DeSteffenay wells,
northwest Of the Wood deep test, have
checked higher than expected, indi-
eating an interruption in the normal
northwest dip.
The Wood well is to be drilled TO
the Devonian, below the Madison
lime. The well has been delayed by
inability to shut off water at the top
Of the lime, owing to the shortage OF
cement and subsequent breakage In
the 83-inch casing which had to be
for l0-inch casing, which
was unobtainable.

HITS PEAK OF
1920 BARRELS

Montana oil production mounted to
its summer peak during the week
ended Aug. %. with an average OF
%. 200 barrels per day. according to
the records of the OIL Conservation
Board. This contrasts with an average
Of 22.273 barrels in July. Production
rate recommended by OPC in August
is 22.700 barrels per day. and the aY-
erage is well within that rate despite
the high runs OF the third week. The

for Twin Fields OIL Co., of Grea
Falls. Twin Fields has a well nearby
which had a flow Of 100000 cubic
feet of gas coming from the top o.
the lime. Such a flow of gas at this
horizon is usually regarded as indica-
tive Of the presence of considerable
pool Of oil nearby, which rule is sup
ported in this instance. Some oper-
ators believe that the Fulton Petrole-
UNI Thompson No. 6, SW SW5 NE3 D.

Much gasoline has been moving
from north Montana refinerfes to
North Dakota. Truckers have been

I.96 cents per gallon to Williston.
Montana gasoline cannot go by truck
much beyond Minot. which is consid-
