Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

Aided by a one-of-a-kind mobile laboratory, Montana State University researchers and their industry partners are advancing a new way to fix leaking oil and natural gas wells: with rock-forming bacteria.

The MSU team recently towed the new lab — a 28-foot-long, double-axle trailer outfitted with pumps, a generator and specialized equipment — to Indiana for the first of three field tests to be completed this year.
