That the Cut Bank sand doesn't
extend southeast or south for any
great distance has already been
pretty well proven by wells drilled
in the area.
Both the Fulton and Hannah

crops indicate an unbroken and
virtually undertaking regional dip
of 60 feet or more to the mile, west
ward from the Kevin-Sunburst field,
across Cut Bank and further west
until junction with the disturbed
belt at the east front of the Rockies.
In his mapping, Stebinger showed
that the normal regional dip was
broken, In the area west of the
southern end Of the Cut Bank field,
by occurrence of horizontal surface
beds, which he indicated on his
maps.
Findings Proven
Proof that these have structural
significance has already been found
in Fultons well on the Hagan
structure
Allowing for normal regional dip,
the Fulton well should have been
at last 600 feet structurally lower
than, for example, the Pioneer
Anderson well in 31-32-6W Actually,
the Fulton well is checking only
1870 feet lower, indicating a reversal
between the Hagan structure and
the wells in the south end of the
field.
Near the site picked by the
Hannah-POrter Co., a similar con-
dition is revealed by a study Of
marker beds in cliffs adjacent to
the well site, these showing this
well to be appreciably higher than
it should have been had the normal
