MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1923 Oil -:- Finance -: TENTATIVE PLAN FOR SALT CREEK OUTLINED Producers Association Scheduled to Frame Program at Meeting Here Wednesday; Drilling of 200 : Wells Ready for Submission Tentative plans for the drilling of 200 wells within the next six months to equalize the density of production in all parts of the field and bring the total number of producing wells up to 200 will be submitted Wednesday to the meeting in Casper of the Salt Creek Producers association, when a program for the coming season will be adopted. With po- tential. developed production of the field now rated at about 240,000 barrels a day, the new wells would raise this total to about $826,000 barrels. It is estimated that there will be a pipeline outlet capacity of epprox!mately 170,000 barrels when the Sinclair, Ilnois and Producera & Refiners lines are completed this! year, which will call for continued pro-rating of crude acceptances by the purchasers. It is possible that the prospects of ® new railroad for Salt Creek will enter into the drilling program at Salt Creek this season as transporta- tion will thus be provided for the shipment of considerable crude ofl by rafl. At present much ofl is being transported to Casper by pipeline and there loaded into tank cars for re- fineries in Canada and at Omaha. Big operators, however, will continue to urge a conservation program at the meeting and it is believed that it will be generally endorsed. The association meeting, it is said may also hear a report from a mittes recently sent to New York and Washington to confer with Mammoth OM company and department of the interfer officials regarding production along the line between the Salt Creek and Teapot fields. While the Mam moth company {s obligated by its contract with the government to pro- duce its completed wells 100 per cent Salt Creek producers across the line are limited to 40 per cent. The Sait Creek companies either want the privilege of producing their wells 100 per cent or, what would be more equitable, to have the interior de partment modify its contract with the Mammoth so that the latter would not have to produce more ofl per well than the pro rata percentage in Salt Creek. request under advisement and ap enrly decision is expected, the Mam. moth company being willing to abide by the department ruling. Construction of Oil Line To Poison Spider Pending Fargo Oil company has contracted for 23 miles of six-inch pipe for an oil pipeline to connect the Polson Spider field with Casper and work will be started as soon as deliveries can be made.
