Central Montana oil fields and subsurface formations under study
Montana Mines geologist Dr. Eugene S. Perry notes varying and confusing subsurface conditions in central Montana as drilling plans for oil wells proceed. The region’s uplifted belt hosts fields like Cat Creek, Devil’s Basin, Gage, Ragged Point, Big Wall and Melstone on nearby domes within 20 miles, with six horizons from Mississippian to upper Cretaceous yielding productive zones in individual fields. Additionally, U.S. chrome and manganese shipments to the Soviet Union have declined sharply, prompting calls to survey Montana’s mineral resources amid wartime needs.
