My sources tell me that the Rock Happy Well 33 in 11N-32 E produced 4060 barrels of oil from 3/31/12 to 4/30/12. Why would that be considered a dry hole? They had problems during start up trying to stay on line but it appears things have smoothed out. (as of May 1st. )

The Central Montana Resource wells (test) in Petroleum County were pretty much dry holes, and I believe most have been shut down. Only several barrels of oil recovered in a years time. Now maybe they will concentrate in rosebud county!!!

Anyone heard of any activity in Garfield County????

Info off the MT Bd of O&G Commission's October 10, 2012 Hearing Docket;

Cirque Resources is applying for "temporary spacing" on the following sections. This is one of the steps prior to drilling. Though it does not guarantee drilling would ever be done. These are the locations;

T10N R33E, Sections 6, 8, and 17.

T10N R34E, Section 33.

T10N R35E, Section 12.

Cirque also applied for "permanent spacing" on their "Rock Happy #33-3H" well in Section 33, T11N R32E.

I am looking at the Montana site at my interests 11N, 33E, sec 17. I don't see a legend for what the symbols mean. I did turn off the well layer and they disappeared in my section. I am wondering how to see what the legends are and how to find out the names of the wells. Any help? I have no lease and have not been contacted but it seems there is a lot of activity.

And thanks to everyone for the info in the site. It is extremely helpful and important for us to share this info.

Rick, when I last used the Montana site I had to relearn everything because it had been awhile. The icons at the top of the map page are how I manipulate the view. Sometimes I have to zoom out to get the map to scroll to the point I want. Now for the part that answers your question. You can zoom in on a well, select the identify icon from the top of the map and then click on the well and the Name and operator should appear below the map and there should be a button to click on the right hand side to get production information. I hope this helps.

My sisters and I own mineral rights in Rosebud County Section 12, T2 R40E. This is one of the areas. Is there anythings going on near by. It has been leased for small amounts over the last many years and about 30 years ago the railroad claimed it and we had a hard time being able to keep any of it. Very discourageingg,

Thanks,
