Oil drilling planned in Wisconsin after State adopts rules
Amoco Production Co plans to drill a test hole in northern Wisconsin along the Mid-Continent Rift once Wisconsin develops exploration regulations. The project would be the first oil search in the state, targeting Ashland or Bayfield counties, with prior activity by Texaco in Kansas and seismic work across Iowa. Experts say the rift has high risk but potential, while Iowa faces leasing activity and no confirmed complaints of wrongdoing in lease deals.
