Atlantic No. 1   On March 8, 1948, one mile east of Leduc No. 1, Atlantic No. 3 blew wild. When the ground thawed, a mass of craters appeared across the grain field and the oil flowed for the next 6 months. The rig collapsed, and caught fire on September 6, burning for three days.

This created tremendous interest in international media bringing the prospects of the Alberta oil industry to the attention of the world. Over 1.4 million barrels of oil came from the well.
