Oil well to be shot today at Greybull Montana field
A stockholders party headed for Greybull to witness the shot of the first well of the Greybull and Montana Oil Company. After weeks of delays due to winter, the nitro-glycerin charge will be placed to free the oil flow. The field reports indicate a thick oil-bearing sand over twenty one feet, with geologists noting the underlying sands may be even richer. The company has weathered several drilling hurdles with no extra cost to it, other than delays, and hopes to complete the well within a month, a notable record for local oil firms.
