In 1948 a limited Montana wildcat program focused on Ragged Point, Big Wall, Melstone and Woman's Pocket, with early production results and a bold, well financed campaign across Wheatland, Golden Valley, Musselshell, Fergus, Rosebud, Stillwater, Yellowstone, Carbon and Big Horn counties. Dr. Eugene Perry notes stratigraphic hiatuses in the state complicate geology while firms invest heavily to test the new play.
