4 Saskatchewan Begins To Loom | As Big Producer Of Oil | By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Busi Editor , REGINA (CP)--0il development in Saskatchewan's southeast--the vince's current sensation -- is called a "shallow play." * This means that oil has been found in one of the relatively a geological strata -- in this ci hse the Mississippian, some 3,500 5,000 feet below- the sur.ace. While it is being explored and developed, little is being done to ok into the deeper Devonian for- ation which has given Alberta its major production, or the still déep Silurian and Ordovician. PROBE DLEPER James T. Cawley, Saskatchewan's ngtural gas branch," says: 'The next piay in the southeast will be in the Devonian. Once it is! checked it should be as pro- director of bdth the Devonian and Ordovi- cian." Some oil men share Mr. Caw- ley's optimism and some are less eful, but all agree: "We don't How until we look." hat quotation fits all the vast arpas of Saskatchewan where oil isi possible because, from an oil paint of view relatively little "Iboking" has been done : uch words as "Charles," *"Mis- sign Canyon," "'Lodgepole" and "Bakken" slip easily from the 1 of Saskatchewan residents, petroleum and |limestone and other 1 |Lodgepole and, at its base, ductive here as in Alberta.
