PRIZE DRAWING-Mi- ss Gwen Fred M. Hayes, Duchesne, son of Mrs. Mary Lou Hayes, received his Eagle Scout award at a Boy Scout court of honor recently. Presented by Dennis it was the only Eagle award presented at the court of honor, which was held in connection with the Duchesne second ward dinner. Fred is a member of troop 258, of which Karl Lund is the scoutmaster. Active in Scouting from his first days as a Cub Scout, Fred is active in his church in the Priesthood and was president of the deacon's quorum; an honor roll student, he has been a band member since the fourth grade. Under the new Scouting program Fred is the first in his troop to receive the Eagle award. Priority asked for reclamation projects Sen. Wallace F. Bennett, today personally appealed to President Nixon to provide more funds for western reclamation projects already under construction. The Utah Republican made the comment to the President during a White House meeting to discuss the economic message and the new budget. Iiater, an official of the Office of Management and Budget asked to meet with the Senator to review the situation. Sen. Bennett told the Chief Executive that while he could support most of the new federal budget, he felt reclamation projects should be given more priority. The fiscal 1975 budget, which will be submitted to Congress Monday, calls for g a $12.3 million construction program for the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. This is less than half of the $30 million sought by Utah state water officials, and $2.2 million less than the construction budget for the current fiscal year. The Bonneville Unit has been under construction about eight years at a cost so far of over $80 million. The total cost of the giant project, which will provide a new source of water for the Wasatch Front area of the state, is estimated at dollars. Sen. Bennett said the longer the project is stretched out, the greater the co6t becomes to Utah water users and the U. S. Treasury. M. Hayes, Duchesne, received his Eagle Scout award recently. the Doctor First, BUSINESSMEN! total of some 340 karats of diamonds on the bit, with about 50 as the bit is rebuilt. When the bit was pulled from the hole Friday morning, it was found to be in excellent condition. It did show some fluid wash (about normal for hours run), but no extreme wear. Most diamonds were still exposed and sharp, with very little breakage. The bit was still in full gauge, and the driller felt that it could have completed more than 200 feet more of hole in the formation in which it was drilling. Mr. Loos stated that the Carbon Ado diamonds are proving very satisfactory in drilling conditions found in the area. The diamonds seem to withstand greater heat, and are not affected by the shock as are the regular industrial diamonds. The long bit run provides considerable savings to the company, with a cost difference of some $21.25 per foot. A hole of this depth would ordinarily require three diamond bits, and at least two extra trips" out of the hole, plus added mud and other extras of tripping. Mr. Loos stated that much of the credit for the record run could be attributed to the crews; tool pushers, Ralph Davis and Mr. Story; drilling foreman, Mr. Petter-so- n and superintendent, Don Reese. Each worked toward the goal and completed an outstanding job, he added. The company had originally decided to total depth the hole above the 18,000 foot level. But with a record in sight, s decision was made to complete at 18,011, some nine feet beyond the previous record. Flying Diamond Corporation, a company which has shown tremendous growth in the developing oil fields of the basin, is elated with the results of their drilling program. They presently have three rigs operating, including the Brinkerhoff 43, A Signal rig, No. 5, and also Brinkerhoff No. 17. They have one new location built and ready to go, with a second one staked. The company holds considerable acreage in the Altamont area, as well as other places throughout the Basin. Testing on the Shiner well is presently going on. Drillers state that the well "looks good, and should provide another producer for Flying Diamond. One interesting factor reported by the drilling logs, was a heavy show of gas in the Green River formation, at approximately 12,400 feet This is much greater than is usual for wells in that vicinity. (HI report lists new sites, 3 completions The weekly oil activity report issued by the Department of Natural Resources, State of Utah, indicated that Gulf 03 Corporation has filed locations on two two new drilling sites in this area, and Shell 03 also plans one new site. Gulfs locations are both in the BluebeU field, one in Sec. 17, T2S, R2W, west of Roosevelt, and the other in Sec. 2, T2S, R1W, east of Roosevelt. Shell's new location is west of Altamont, in Sec. 28, T1S, R4W. All are for tests to the Wasatch formation, to depths of 12,000 to 16,000 feet Three completions were also listed for the county during the week, including McCulloch Oil, Sec. 27, T2S, R4W, which produced 661 barrels of o3 and 446,000 cu. ft of gas in initial tests; McCulloch Oil, Sec. 31, T2S, R4W, 466 BOPD and 771,000 cu. ft of gas; Flying Diamond, Sec. 27, TIN, R1W, showed 75 barrels of oil in initial tests.

He added that when the crews realized they were within shot of the record, they put forth extraordinary effort to see that the goal was met The well. Shiner No. 1, in Sec. 14, T1S, R4W, near Altonah, was spudded Oct 16, 1973, and took 108 days to complete. It was drilled to a total depth of 18,011. The first field record was set when a 12 'A inch 2JS bit drilled 3,350 feet in 131 'A hours, bettering the previous field record by 154 feet. Then again in the lower end of the hole, diamond bit a Christensen 6A-inc17 days, at in feet 2,280 pushed through an average of 5.93 feet per hour. John Loos, representative of Christensen Diamond Bit Company, stated that the bit was operated at 92 RPM, with a drilling weight of 18,000 to 28,000 lbs. A flow of 172 GPM was maintained across the surface of the bit. Mr. Loos also pointed out that the stabilization system included a near-bi- t drill stabilizer, plus a collar and string stabilizer, and 30 feet up another drill collar and string stabilizer. The bit used was an MD 331, 4 karat CWT, utilizing Carbon Ado diamonds. The black diamonds are imported from Brazil, and embedded in the bit in Christensen's plant in Salt Lake.
