Powder River Surprises Oil Men With Rapid Basin Growth
The Powder River Basin spanning Wyoming and Montana has fueled more oil and more surprises than any Rocky Mountain area since its 19th century beginnings. The Shannon pool of 1889 and Salt Creek pool sparked an early oil boom as 40 fields unfold around the basin’s rim with the grassland center still largely undrilled. The Petroleum Engineer notes ongoing crude lines will boost exploration and southern Williston discoveries may link to northern Powder River formations 400 500 feet thick, accelerating future activity.
