Prospect of another test on Willow Creek
A potential new deep test well may be drilled on the Willow Creek structure twelve miles west of Chateau. Western Pet-X and a Standard company would share costs, and the field’s sharp-dip geology is noted as highly defined by the Montana Oil Journal. Pet-X has substantial Willow Creek holdings and earlier drilled to 3600 feet with protection holes, while Chateau Oil & Gas halted its deep test due to funding limits.
