Oil and Gas Well Drilling Activity
Reported in West Virginia
During 1997
Summary:
The number of well completions (843) reported in West Virginia during 1997 (Table 1) reflects a 40% increase compared to the number (597) reported in 1996. In 1997, 881 permits were issued to drill new wells or deepen old ones -- 175 more than in 1996, or a 24% increase.
Doddridge County, in northern West Virginia, was the most active county in the State, with 108 completions reported. Activity in the county was primarily in Upper Devonian siltstones and sandstones (Table 2). Wyoming County, in southern West Virginia, was the second most active county, with 80 completions for both coalbed methane development and more traditional targets in Lower Mississippian sandstones and Upper Devonian shales. Other active counties were Kanawha County (60 wells), Harrison County (55 wells), and Ritchie County (50 wells). Lower Mississippian sandstones were a primary target in Kanawha County with a few deep targets, while Devonian sandstones and shales were the primary zones completed in Harrison and Ritchie counties.
Exploratory Wells:
As in recent years, the number of exploratory wells was small (5), as most operators continued to concentrate on developing acreage in existing fields and pools. Exploratory activity was more diverse than in 1996; deep targets in existing fields or extensions of existing Oriskany fields were tested in Harrison, Upshur, and Wood counties. The recently-named Hinton Field in southern West Virginia was extended into Summers County. A new coalbed methane field (Bradshaw CBM) was discovered in McDowell County, and four wells were reported as completed in the field in 1997; additional wells have been permitted in this field.
Deep Wells:
Eighteen wells penetrating at least the Middle Devonian Onondaga Limestone or equivalents were completed (Table 3). Seventeen of these wells were completed in the Middle Devonian Onondaga Limestone, Oriskany Sandstone, or Huntersville Chert, while one was drilled to the Silurian Rochester Shale. The most active region for development of gas production from the Oriskany was in the Utica and Rockport fields of southern Wood County, where six wells were completed. Other Oriskany development was scattered in Kanawha County, and Huntersville and Oriskany development occurred in the South Burns Chapel field of Monongalia County. Two Big Six wells were completed in the Sidney field in Wayne County.
Enhanced Oil Recovery:
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) development of the Jacksonburg-Stringtown field in Wetzel and Tyler counties continued with 15 new injection wells and one oil production well all reported in the Gordon sandstone; two of the injection wells were directionally drilled. EOR efforts were continued in the Pine Grove field of Wetzel County where six wells were completed in the Gordon sandstone.
Production:
Reported oil production for 1996 was 1,544,000 barrels. Reported gas production for 1996 was 169,839 million cubic feet (MMcf). Average initial open flow potentials for wells reported in 1997 were: 13 oil wells--1 bbl/d; 755 gas wells--794 Mcf/d; and 10 combination wells--5 bbl/day and 84 Mcf/d.

Yes this is in 1997 Yes it is in West Virginia the point of the exercise is the average flows of new gas wells at that time was 794mcfpd each
If you want to find out the latest reports its on CD cough up $400.00US for it.

IMO there is little hope of finding oil in the Cambria Carrolltown region. Gas is the go here.
