    It will be very interesting in the months ahead to see how wide and far this new Chatfield Oil Field can produce the BLACK GOLD. have my fingers crossed for success for ALL in this area.Hopefully the Madison has some (oil in place) to give up for the drillers? I talked to a oil services local person in Glenburn and he said this area is going to heat up with new drilling by Ballard petroluem (a new and up coming company) and some other oil companies.
