Abstract
Discovery of oil in the Williston Basin at the Amerada Petroleum Corporation's C. Iverson well No. 1 precipitated an expanded leasing and exploration program in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Four new fields were discovered in the basin during 1951, with a fifth discovery indicated at the end of the year. Paleozoic rocks compose most of the newly discovered reservoirs, with production indicated from rock of Ordovician, Silurian(?), Devonian, and Mississippian age. Successful exploration calls for complete cooperation between geologists and geophysicists. The first production statistics are compiled for North Dakota after 33 years of intermittent exploration. All indications point toward a substantial increase in drilling during 1952.
