DennlS DynneSen No. 1 wei is taken.
Two wells have Welded
more than $4,000 barrels of
oil, in an isolated area approxi-
mately 40 miles from any other
production, in the heart of the
Williston Basin.
The No. l Dennis Dvnnaeon
with tester open three hours and
10 minutes, had gas to surface in
two hours and SO minutes. and re-
covered $500 feet of heavily OIL

In addition to allowing ex-

as likely to lead to drilling ON
adjacent acreage blocks. some

years.
