Oil and gas developments in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia
Maryland had 11 completions during the year--6 gas storage wells in the Accident field, 4 stratigraphic tests in the coastal plain area, and a wildcat north of the Accident field that was dry in the Oriskany. A total of 61,412 ft was drilled during 1969. A total of 863 wells was drilled to Clinton Sand producing zone in Ohio, 799 of which were productive. Total new footage drilled was 4,280,719. Pennsylvania had 8 new-pool discoveries, 3 were Onondaga Chert-Oriskany Sandstone gas discoveries, 3 were Upper Devonian sandstone gas discoveries, and 2 were Upper Devonian sandstone oil discoveries. A total of 1,930,944 ft was drilled. There was a significant increase in total drilling activity in West Virginia in 1969. Several Tuscarora (Lower Silurian) tests were drilled and one small gas discovery was made. The deepest well drilled in the state in recent years (TD 14,496 ft in Beekmantown) was dry. A new Benson gas field was discovered in NW. Randolph County.
