Renewed oil interest at Bird's Vale area interview
Interview with Jay Mander recounts revived exploration in Bird's Vale with plans to pull down the old derrick and clear a site for a new production test. An initial 15 inch hole will be drilled with multiple tests planned, dismantling to begin once equipment arrives to remove the old drill pipe and casing. Nearby, a 1000 barrel well was recently completed at Loyd, Saskatchewan, signaling potential provincial oil prospects.
