Directory O.
Is Completed

Memoir No. %, DIRECTORY of Mon
tsna Oil and Gas Industry" issued by
the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geol-
ogy, is now ready for distribution to
the public, according to announcement
made by DR.. Francis A. Thomson,
director of the Montana Bureau Of
Mines and Geology and president Of the
Montana School Of Mines.
The book consists of about 300 pages,
most Of which are given over to a
directory of oil and gas companies oper-
ating in the various fields in Montana
and those companies which now are not
operating but were well known during
their operations. The Directory, besides
containing table of contents, is in
dexed with the names of all the COM
panies contained therein and the names
of all the individuals mentioned
therein.
There also is an appendix to the
directory section, the appendix contain
ing terse Montana oil and gas statistics,
some stratigraphie sections of the oil
and gas fields and a general map of
Montana showing where the various
fields are located.
This is the first oil and gas directory
published in this state since 1921 and
was compiled through the cooperation
of the Montana Bureau Of Mines and
Geology, the Montana School of Mines,
the Mining Association of Montana, the
Montana Oil Conservation Board, and
the Mineral Resources Survey, the lat
ter having been a WPA project which
now is disbanded.
Eggleston B. Emriek of Conrad, who
was head Of the oil and gas division of
the Mineral Resource Survey, did most
Of the compilation work. Mr.. Emrick.
Roy H. Earhart, and Carl J. Trauer-
man are co-authors of the book.
Copies are available at $1.O0 each
and orders should be sent to the Bureau
Of Mines and Geology, Montana School
Of Mines, Butte, Montana.

cepted horizon and finds a bidding
amount of oil, it proves that there
isn't commercial oil in the district.
The other is our famous bromide:
OIL DOES NOT OCCUR IN
BU0KETsFUL OR BARRELS
Full. 1T OCCURS IN POOLS.
If the first viewpoint is true, the
bidding amount of oil in the Pom
dera discovery well should have pre-
vented the development Of the highly
profitable Pondera pool. MORE OIL
was produced In Chessher's first we'll
at Pendroy than was produced by
the Pondera discovery well.
MORE OIL was found in the Zod-
lac well at Pendroy than in the dis
eovery wells of either Pondera, Ke-
vim or Cut Bank.
Since the several wells were drilled
near Pendroy, surface trenching and
other geological methods, plus seis-
mograph methods have determined
the presence of q fault with a dis
placement of as much as 500 feet
the most important stratigraphic
feature yet revealed in the lower
Sweetgrass Arch.
We have been religiously buying
farms in fee and buying royalties
along this fault line. Thus far our
conclusions and enthusiasm seem to
have earned only cool chances from
the people who are seeking new oil
fields. To our members who are
beginning to wonder whether we are
a bit Fanny we again say that we
wouldn't trade 10000 acres Of Pend
roy for the rest Of the west slope
of the Sweetgrass Arch as far west
ward as the sharp-dip area, and that
means hundreds Of thousands Of
acres-that is, If we really wanted
TO quickly find OIL.
In this we may be wrong. We
probably are. At any rate, we are
going on record now so that we can
be the subject Of lot Of good belly
laughs later on. It will be ample
proof to the world how narrow be-
tween the eyes a man or a group

We Go Definitely Of Record

an identical crude oil. The facts are
known TO everyone. That the ancient
seacoast In the twilight zone at
the beginning Of the Cretaceaus Is
present on the north slope Of the
Sweetgras Hills Is recognized by
every authority with whom we have
talked. That two wells ON Flat
Coulee have found the sands and the
oil is Of official record. We think It
reasonable that where there Is SOME
oil, more may be found. The unde-
termined factor Is the EXTENT Of
the pool. We would guess that most
OF it is ON the Canadian eide. Our
guess takes form In tho purchase Of
all the few available lands and roy
alties we can get on the price basis
Of rank wildcat, although we be-
heve 1t is oil land. When we have
exhausted the investment opportuni-
ties Of such districts we will 20 else
where and possibly pay even more.
We and our clients stand to win
or lose on this policy and we viii not
be convinced that we are wrong until
not one but several wells are drilled
in these areas where STRUCTURE
is known to be present and where
PETROLEUM. is known to be pres
emit.
Finding oil is not a simple matter,
even with all the aids Of modern
science. We know Of a major com
pany that has been trying to get
f0othold in California. This company
has drilled SEVENTY.TWO wells
without achieving much success. On
any such ratio it 10 apparent that it
Is impossible for any one royalty in
weston to follow every wildcat. It is
necessary for him TO adopt O plan of
his own and choose the places where
he believes oil is most likely to be
found, then to reject the others.
Our theory Of staying as close as
possible to places where SOME oil is
known to exist does not appear to
be shared by all the operators for
perhaps good wholesome reason.
But our policy win have TO stand as
first choice for 0nr clients until we
see some wells drilled on Bannatyne,
Flat Coulee, Pendroy and q dozen
other spots where the presence of
SOME oil is established. These win
be our first choice until a better
plan is established.

If we were as smart as the big
companies, we doubtless would be
living in Tulsa or New York City.
And if the big companies were as
dumb as we, they would doubtless
not be as big as they are. Which is
one way of offering apology for
what we are about to say. We wish
to say, largely for the benefit of our
members, what we think of the fu-
ture of Montana oil development.
When we are called upon to buy
royalties in areas where we believe
there is less chance for oil than In
known petroliferous areas, we some
times hesitate, If not refuse, even
though our opinion seems to clash
with experts who certainly know a
lot more about finding oil pools than
we. We may seem a bit narrow be-
TWEEN the eyes but we believe that
oil is most likely to be present where
oil has been found in the past.
In other words, we can't see very
far beyond, the known presence Of
oil when we start looking for an oil
field.
We wouldn't trade, as an example,
5000 acres on Bannatyne structure
for 500, 900 acres of the surrounding
country. The reason is that 81 wells
drilled on Bannatyns had oil and
produced oil and while the amount
was small, IL Is adequate prooS to
satisfy as that Baxnatyne Is q BET
TER place TO look for oil than an
area where there has been no drill.
ing. II we were doing It, we would
take mp Bannatyns FIRST ana then
start work on the aforesaid SOC, 900
acres
We cannot share the opinion that
the discovery Of an oil field is not a
sporting proposition in which the
prospector must not take an unfair
advantage of Mother Nature by fol
lowing up known facts.
If we were going to look for an
other oil pool west Of Pondera oil
field, the first place we would look
would be where we KNOW that oil is
present. That is along the Emrick
fault near Pendroy. We would not
be inclined TO overlook the presence
Of this fault but we would be even
less inclined to overlook the
KNOWN PRESENCE OF OIL along
that fault; in small, non-eommercial
quantities, TO be sure. But we have
seen crude oil swabbed and bailed
from several holes along the Emrick
fault.
There are two ways Of looking al
q showing of oil. One is that when a
well is drilled into the usually ac'
