STEEL SHORTAGE MENACES
1947 DRILLING PROGRAMS
Whether there will be much drilling in 1947 seems
likely to be decided within the next few weeks.
Continuation of the coal strike will bring a further
curtailment of steel production, and that inevitably means
continued shortages of casing, drill pipe, tanks and all
other equipment used in such huge quantities by the oil
industry.
Putting John L. Lewis in jail, as so many are cheerfully
advocating, is not going to help. Lewis would love to be
martyrized—and jailing him would not produce an ounce
of coal.
The administration is now reaping part of what it
sowed a year or so ago when it encouraged labor to go out
for wage increases averaging 18 percent, at the same time
chirruping the palpable falsehood that such increases could
be paid by industry, without increasing costs of products.
What the administration does now to get out of the
present jackpot will be watched with interest by the oil
industry.
For upon what is done during the next few weeks de
pends the drilling programs of hundreds of independent
and major oil companies alike.
And what is done is certain to have a direct bearing
upon the 1948 presidential campaign.
This advertisement is one of a series, sponsored
by Montana Independent oil producers, to acquaint
the producers with facts vital to their welfare, and
from time to time to acquaint the public with some of
the problems now confronting this vital industry.
These advertisements will be continued throughout
194«.
Important Announcement:
IMPROVED BRAN8PORD MAP: This 50 by 36-inch map shows
every wildcat ever drilled in Montana, designates the section in
which it was drilled, gives total depth, and by symbol indicates
whether It was dry or showed oil or gas.
IN ADDITION, this map has now been altered to include a
correlation of Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan range numbers
along the entire Montana border.
ALSO this map gives outlines of all Montana oil and gas fields,
shows location of all principal anticlines, gives county and town
ship boundaries, and names county seats.
PLUS two cross sections showing geological formations in two
areas, one extending from Glacier Park to Bowdoln dome, the other
taking in the section eastward from the Elk Basin field through
the Baker-Glendive anticline.
Information on this map is CORRECT. Every well shown on
the map has been checked against the log records of the Montana
Oil Conservation Board.
AND FINALLY, this map is corrected and brought up to June,
1946. It may be seen at our office. Price $5.25 for paper, $8.75 for
map with linen backing.
