Roundup Oil Fields See Brisk Drilling And Big Prospects
June reports from the Van Duzen well describe slow drilling through hard limestone into cap rock while predicting a likely second oil sands at depth near 200 feet below the current bit. The 85 foot sand is expected to yield a productive well, with casing to be set soon. Several wells across Roundup region show significant depths and gas shows, as companies including E. G. Lewis Development Association expand holdings by acquiring Montana Consolidated Oil. Preparations for the Miracle well and Fourth of July events spark renewed activity, with a large 84 foot derrick to be lit and observed by many as work continues by steam due to mechanical issues.
