The Oil Creek Valley of Pennsylvania--in production from shallow wells since 1859 and for many hundreds of years before then by collection pits dug by Native Americans--is seeing the pursuit of an oil field phenomenon known as the deeper pool discovery. A portion of the early North American oil belt is now realizing good gas production from Lower Silurian Medina group sandstones that have thick development on a trend that cuts south-eastward across historic Oil Creek in Venango County. The paper discusses the early drilling activities, deep gas production, the medina stratigraphy, medina reservoirs, and future objectives for the area.
