Oil and gas developments in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia
In Maryland, 3 wells were drilled in the Accident field during the year, one of which reached the Juniata Formation. Total new footage drilled was 27,244. In Ohio, 1,502 new wells were drilled in 1973. Of these, 759 were gas wells, 145 oil wells, 432 combination wells, and 166 dry holes. Pennsylvania's drilling activity increased in 1973 over 1972 by 50% in exploratory drilling and 20% in development drilling. The number of gas wells drilled increased 62%, or from 297 wells in 1972 to 482 wells in 1973. Oil-well drilling remained about the same as 1972 with 516 wells being drilled. In Virginia, 18 wells were drilling during the year; 15 of them were gas wells. Total footage drilled was 86,485. West Virginia had an increase of 16.7% in total well completions from 1972 to 1973. However, the deep well completions decreased 32.8%.
