Exploration and development high-lights in North Dakota, 1964 to 1965

OSTI ID:6716670
A new center of drilling interest continues in Billings County with development of dual-completion wells from productive Tyler (Pennsylvanian) and Madison (Mississippian) zones. Deeper exploration for Devonian objectives is underway in McKenzie County, spurred by good wells with attractive economic considerations. In the shallower N.-central North Dakota areas, exploration and development of numerous stratigraphic sequences in Mississippian sections encourage continuing efforts in the vicinity of prolific producing areas. Sherwood Field (Madison- Mississippian) had undergone its third significant re-definition and extension development since discovery in 1957. A prime factor in North Dakota's oil picture has been, and is, the enlightened and favorable regulatory environment.
