****************************

29705, see above, Armstrong Operating Dickinson City 1-16: it's interesting that this well is a wildcat; it is located in the Patterson Lake oil field, and is only three-quarters of a mile east of the phenomenal Laurine Engle 1 well (#18190). There are several great wells in the immediate area including the 1-million-bbl well Patterson Lake 41-13 in the Eland oil field (#13788). Both of these wells are followed on the "Monster Wells" page. So, we'll see.
