Title: Deep-Sand Developments in Appalachian Region During 1939

Author(s): Thurman H. Myers (2)

Abstract:

Results of developments for "deep"-sand oil and gas in the Appalachian region during the past year have been discouraging. Two Oriskany sand gas pools were discovered in southern New York, and two in northern Pennsylvania, but none was of any great extent. Depletion in this region has been much more rapid than the addition to reserves through new discoveries. Two new Oriskany gas pools were discovered in Jackson County, West Virginia, but neither has been tested sufficiently to indicate its extent. In Kanawha and Jackson counties, West Virginia, the Elk-Poca Oriskany field was extended north and northwest to embrace approximately ten thousand (10,000) additional acres with a possible increase in reserve of 60,000,000 thousand cubic feet.
