Montana Oil Highlights -- An Update; Slawson With a Dual-Leg Bakken; A 1953 Well Approved For Injection

I don't have time to follow Montana in depth like North Dakota, and the link to the Fairfield Sun Times is likely to break sometime in the future, so if you want to see what's going on in Montana this week, you better click on the link now.

There are three things to note:

• activity in eastern Montana seems to be picking up significantly (by Montana standards)
• although not unheard of in North Dakota, it is rare to see a well with two laterals; Slawson will be drilling a Bakken well with two laterals; the legs, by the way, seem quite long: 13,700 feet and 13,600 feet; assuming those are just the lateral legs
• a well spud in 1953 has now been permitted for injection, across the state line from Bowman County

I don't know about you, but for me, these developments seems kind of exciting.
