Acid Again
Works Magic,
North Field

Something to bring tears to the
eyes of the old-timers who used to
try vainly to make producers out
of wells with shows of oil" is Ad-
downward No. 4, SW NV Sc 1886
3W in the Kevin-Sunbufst field.
This well was drilled to the Ellis
Madison contact at 1747 and was
apparently a flop. 1t had only
showing of oil, barely enough to
wet the tools.
Came then the magic of acid
Given shot of 500 gallons, 1t made
90 barrels of oil and no water in
the first is hours. Put on the pump,
it has been making 100 barrels of
oil daily.
In the old days it would have
been abandoned following futile at
tempts to increase the flow. Science
has its points.

Test North
OF SunbuIrst
Is Surprise

A region passed over by oil
men for years continued to hold
the interest of the fraternity IN
the vicinity of the Kevin-Sun-
burst field this week, with a
well north of Sunburst, on the
border nose, pumping IS bar
rels daily from the basal Ellis
sand.
The well is Thorpe-Holbrook No.
2, Sc NV NE 2-36-3W, which last
week was reported as a completion
after drilling to a total depth of
206s feet, finding pay in thee basal
Ellis at 2063.
Interest in the area continued TO
mount, though the area is tightly
leased, with scant prospect that any
not now represented in the area
will have opportunity to take part
in future developments.
The district is one which first
attracted attention in May, 1914,
when well drilled by "Slim" Par
rent, about a quarter of a mile
southwest of the Thorpe well,
flowed several heads of AT gravity
oil from the same horizon as that
in which the Thorpe found produc-
ton.
Two other good competitions in
the Kevin-Sunburst field this week
were Leone Let's Kali Kelvin No. 10,
NE NV NV 19-35-1W, which was
shot with SIS quarts at 1925 feet and
which Is reported by the operators
to have swabbed 200 barrels in the
first 4S hours, and Nepstad-Haugen
No. 5, NE SW NE 11-35-3W, which
swabbed so barrels the first "A
hours from the Sunburst sand at
1884, and which is making 20 bar
rels daily on the pump.

Deep Tests
Report Oil,
Gas Showings

Sh0wings of oil and gas were
reported this week i'm two of
the most important and inter-
esting wells ever drilled I'm
Montana --- the Tarrant Wood
deep test i'm the Midway field
and the Cobb lrshberg deep
test I'm the P0ndera field.
Staging almost a neck-and-neck
race, both of the wells are now
heading for the bottom of the De-
vonian formation, with the Ordo-
vician and it's Wilcox sand appar-
entity next ahead of the bits.
Drilling with rotary tools, A. B.
Cobb's well in the southeastern cor
ner of the Pondera field, which en-
tered the Devonian at 2940, was
nearing the 3700-foot mark, Latest
development was a sand at 3552-
1862 which showed gas and no
water.
None of the horizons In this well
which have showed gas or oil have
been tested as the rotary went
down, with tests to be made when
the bottom Of the hole has been
reached, casing is run, and perfor-
ating tried. Testing appreciably
higher than any wells ever drilled
in this area, some fear is expressed
that the well may be on flat
high" with still better prospects
to be opened by drilling on the
TANKS. The well was located with
a seismograph, and apparently has
proven accuracy of the survey.
Several miles to the west, r. G.
Tarrant is drilling at approximately
37O0 feet In his deep test on the
Woods lease in the Midway field,
with cable tools. This well went
into the Devonian at 2873 feet.
Latest developments are showing
of oil at 3542 feet and a showing of
gas at 3540 feet, both without water
The wells are regarded as among
the most important ever drilled In
the state, expected to add volumes
to existing knowledge of subsurface
conditions.

HOT SPRINGS, S. D.-With the
Amerada Petroleum Corp. taking a
leading part, there has recently
been marked intensification of oil
activity in Fall River county.
Several thousand acres of private
~ owned, school and state land has
recently been leased In an area in
which Amerada seismographic
crews were active during the year
The crews left a short time ago for
California, but are repeatedly SEIZED
uled to return in the spring.
The leases are currently being
taken by r. r. Wellington, Nebras-
ka attorney, and are of the standard
type.

No Sucker,
No Gasoline

No sticker on the windshield
no gasoline.
That was the order issued Wed.
nesday by Floris Nagelvoort. state
rationing officer of the office OF
price administration, to Washing.
TONS 6.454 gasoline dealers.
Nagelvoort emphasized an ex.
listing regulation that the service
station operator must check the
windshield sticker on the vehicle
before filling a motorists tank.
Because some ration
boards were out Of 'stickers'
when ration books were first
distributed. some vehicles
were given gasoline without
them" Nagelvoort explained.
This situation now has
been remedied. and motorists
who failed to get a sticker
can do 80 by applying at their
ration boards"
The stickers must be attached
to the windshield - not in the
glove compartment or the drivers
wallet, Nagelvoort emphasized.
Nagelvoort also pointed out that
the bottom portion of the &C"
sticker, designating the reason for
eligibility, must also be displayed.
