English term or phrase: The horizontal Amsden * Play * in Central Montana
*Play* is the keyword here - this is a shighly speculative enterprise / investment in the oil exploration industry.

Any ideas ?

play, or Konzept für Öllagerstätten
Explanation:
Is often in my experience simply left as "play" (with a small "p") in German.

An example from the heading of a German text which I once translated:

Erarbeitung eines integrierten, playübergreifenden Explorationskonzepts für das zentrale NSB (Niedersächsische Becken) - development of an integrated multiplay exploration concept ....

Otherwise I've also come across "Konzept für Öllagerstätten", though I can't recall the context.

I\'ve also found \"Ausdehnung einer Lagerstätte\" in the following dictionary:

Wörterbuch der Bohr-, Förder- und Offshore-Technik, Wirtschaftsverband Erdöl- und Erdgasgewinnung e.V., Hannover

Perhaps this will also help.
