Fine Outlook
Seen. Resume
BY Schoenfelt

The 1912 annual resume of Rocky
Mountain oil and gas operations has
just been issued by Petroleum Informa-
ton of Denver, giving 6s pages Of
detailed statistics of oil operations in
Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah,
the Dakotas and New Mexico. The re-
port points out an improved marketing
situation in Montana, making the
prospects especially bright for 1943."
A bright outlook for the entire Rocky
Mountain region is found in the re
port. Wyoming development was fea-
tured by discovery Of prolific oil pro-
duction in deeper sands in three old
oil fields, "at least one of these, Elk
Basin, probably is of major proper
tons"
"Exigencies of war dominated the
years development in the Montana oil
industry" the report says, "and des-
pite an all-time record production Of
S,759,S6s barrels, market demand
greatly exceeded the supply, for the
new operators to Montana with a re-
sultant leasing campaign which points
to considerable prospecting during 1913.
A number of new structural maps
are given in the 1913 edition includ-
ing the Kicking Horse dome in north
Montana, Elk Basin field, shoshone
anticline, Pilot Butte field, Spring
Creek anticine, and several others.
Statistical tabulations show all com
pletions, active wells, production fig
ures and other details. The pubhea-
ton is compiled and published by c.

Order M-68 Is
Replaced by
Simpler Rule

Further assumption of control over
the oil industry by the Petroleum Ad-
ministratOr, as against the War Produc-
ton Board, is found in Petroleum Ad-
ministrative Order No. II replacing the
provisions of WPB M-6s, under which
well spacing and supplies are provided.
The new order seeks to simplify ad-
ministrative procedure and is more
in terms of the oil industry than was
the WPB order. Following are some
of the changes applicable to Montana
Wyoming operations:
maintenance or repair" is REDEEMED
to exclude any restriction because of
accounting practices and to include
capital additions not exceeding $500 in
material costs.
Pumping equipment may not be in
stalled at flowing wells prior to the
time such wells cease to flow naturally,
except where the wells are no longer
capable of flowing their allowables.
Exploratory well" has been modified
to exclude any well in the proven area
of gas or condensate field, regard
less of distance from other wells.
Plugging back or deepening of oil
wells, without regard to drilling pat
tern, is allowed.
Gathering systems may be constructed
to connect wells to a pipeline provided
the material costs do not exceed $4,000.
Except as provided in Supplementary
Order No l, the drilling of all gas
wells requires exceptions. mo. re-
fers to Appalachian area).
PAW forms and will be used
instead of OPC forms PD-2l4a, b, and
c, thereby reducing the number of
forms now in use.
The new order imposes no restric-
tions on the use of material for wild
cat wells.
