Well Located Near Agawam Shows Promise
Prospective oil discovery near Agawam in Teton county is hinted as Phillips Freda Johnson No 1 wildcat nears Madison lime horizon. The well, north of Agawam and northeast of the General Petroleum Bouma No 1, shows tight-hole drilling with test strings and cementing. If productive, the suppressed region in Pondera and Teton counties could spark a new exploration program across about 15 square miles with no prior drilling.
