Oil notes from Flatwillow field report drilling progress
The Minnesota Flatwillow field shows drilling in good shape at about 125 feet after casing, with the A M Z busy at a normal rate. A water inflow at 927 feet halted drilling briefly to offset the water sand, while sulfur odor and shale cave ins influence operations.
