| Oil Conservation Board Report the
price of oil varies greatly throughout
| the different fields in Montana. 1t runs
from low of 5000 per barrel in the
Soap Creek field to high of $2.71 in
the Reagen field. Average of all 81
oil fields was $2.46.
(4) Flush production of an oil well
is no indication of what its settled pro-
duction may be. AS far as I have been
able to ascertain, no oil field in Mon
tana at its peak production, has ever
produced double the flush production of
it's best we'll For instance, the discovery
well in Cat Creek drilled by the Mid
Northern Oil Co, blew itself in at 1000
barrels per day. And yet the peak pro-
duction of the whole field after drill
ing over 120 wells, was only about 1000
barrels. Every well when drilled in
reduces the pressure on all the other
wells, and reduces their production ac-
cordingly.
CD This, believe, is the prize fact
of all. There were 81 producing oil
fields in Montana as of Jan. 1, 1851. If
the State of Montana had owned every
producing acre in 23 of the ~ oil fields,
its 12% % royalty still would not have
to the rental and bonus col
lectiOns of the last fiscal year alone.
Add to that the rental and bonus col
lections for the previous 33 years, and
it would seem that it is more profitable
to lease than to collect royalties.
Again, if the state had owned every
acre of oil producing land in every oil
field in the state, its 12H%o royalty
would have amounted to $31 900. 900.
Co 1t costs about quarter of mill
lion dollars to drill an oil we'll in the
Williston Basin. It's matching dry hole |
will cost another quarter of million. |
Leasing and bonus costs, seismograph |
operations, royalties, taxes and inter-
est on the investment, and cost of OPP |
Grating the well will be about another |
lalf million that a well will have to
produce before the producer gets his |
money back, to say nothing about max
ng profit. If the well averages 100 |
'arrels per day for IA years, it will |
produce just about one million dollars,
result no oil we'll in Montana has
yer approached.
Give the producer break. If he does
It make at least little money, he will
re forced to quit drilling and we will
IL lose. E. j. PARKINSON. !

LETTERS
Parkinson Pleads Case For
Oil Companies

Continued From Last Week.
Now let us take up the matter OF
royalty. 1t should be remembered that
an oil pool is like a jug, there is Just
so much oil down there and no more.
High rate of production does not mean
greater total production If there is
only 10000 barrels down there and
the well produces 10000 barrels per
day, it will be exhausted in one day.
If the we'll produces only 10 barrels
per day, it will take 1000 days to ex-
haust it. The catch to the whole thing
as that if the well is allowed to run
%wild, it will cut channels through the
rock leading to the well, allowing water
to get ahead of the oil, and sometimes
will cut total production as much as
500 or more. In the interest of con-
servation of our natural resources, in
my opinion state leases should con-
tain the provision that no well shall
be allowed to produce more than 100
barrels per day for longer than 10 days.
Now this is not just a brainstorm on
my part, but is the studied judgment of
all experienced oil producers.
1t is just waste of ink for leases
to have sliding scale of royalties
The biggest profit the producer can
make is to hold his production down
to an average of less than 100 bar
rels per day, and save for himself that
extra SO or 1914 %, and that is just
what he will do.
AS to the 3rd proposed change in
the law, it seems to me that in all
fairness, present leaseholders should
be entitled to the same terms as any
other lessee.
see no justification for the assertion
that administration of school lands
business and enforcement of laws per-
tanning to leases would be greatly |
hindered under the proposed new stat
utes. However, I am not informed on |
the subject and will not even attempt |
to debate it,
There are a few other facts that
might be of interest
ID A barrel of oil is AZ gallons, not
so gallons as many people think.
CD The price of oil in N. Dakota in
the Williston Basin as of Aug. 9th,
was $500 per barrel, not $267k.
