Two Big Wells Hit In Week In Northern Montana Oil Field
The Pendroy region near Conrad in Teton county shows new oil activity with a Madison limestone well 2,331 feet deep delivering 110 barrels of water-free oil after acidizing. The Gus Johnson and Chet Thomas pools yield Phillips- Johnson wells 4 and 5 producing 90 to 130 barrels per day of pipeline oil, while Phillips No.3 tests tight dolomite. Natural gas at Thomas No.3 aids field economics. Big West Oil Co. expands leases amid rapid development and potential multiple pools in the area.
