Dawson Merkle Gusher Premier Well of Northern Rockies Oil Fields
The Dawson Merkle gusher, brought in on the Howling lease by Midnorthern Oil, is hailed as the premier oil well in the northern Rocky Mountain district. Initial gushing spurred rapid dyking, with estimates of 38 000 to 5 000 barrels daily and settled production around 1 500 to 2 000 barrels per day. The discovery triggers huge economic stakes, involving Dawson Merkle, Stevenson Associated Royalties, and Hogan interests, with a 80 acre lease and multiple royalty blocks across township 36. The strike attracts capital to the Kegin Sunburst field and reshapes northern Montana oil prospects.
