3 Mid-1800s to early 1900s Period Location and Development Alba, Sylvania, and Tuscarora Townships and Athens Borough: The reported wells that were drilled within these townships and borough had mixed success. However, wells completed in Sylvania and Tuscarora Townships were reported to have more favorable results. Weston, Monroe Township: In 1854 the Weston Oil Company drilled a well to 1,805 feet. Trace oil was observed in limited quantities in February Due to the poor showing of oil, the well was plugged and abandoned on April 1, New Era, Terry Township: An exploratory well was drilled and reported to contain trace amounts of oil and gas South Branch, Monroe Township: A gas well drilled in South Branch was reported to have produced a strong flow of gas. The flow was so strong that the escaping gas could be heard at great distances. Troy Borough and vicinity: Several wells are reported to have been drilled around Troy. Two of the wells produced limited amounts of oil and gas. Asylum Township: Of the gas and oil wells drilled in the vicinity, one was reported to have encountered only a trace of oil. This well was later considered to be a dry hole. Towanda Borough: Following the initial discovery of oil and the Durreil oil field it was reported that subsequent work had stopped. The article reports that the drilling company had raised the needed additional capital and was now continuing with testing of the wells. Overton Township: One well was reported to be drilled to a depth of 3,000 feet without the return of oil or gas; this well was then reported to be dry. ALL Consulting,

5 Late 1920s to early 1930s Date April 15, 1931 April 17, 1931 May 22, 1931 July 10, 1931 Location and Development Bradsted Farm Well (Wells Township): The Bradsted Farm well is reported to be the first well drilled in Bradford County during the 1930s. Hettrich Farm Well (near Towanda Borough): The Hettrich Farm well is reported to be the second well drilled in Bradford County during the 1930s. The article reported that drilling had been initiated. Bradford County Fairground Well (Towanda Borough): This well is reported to be the third well drilled in Bradford County in the 1930s. The article reported that drilling had been initiated. The article goes on to mention that drilling activities were likely to draw crowds of onlookers because the well was being drilled on the edge of town. Bradsted Farm Well (Wells Township): An updated report states that drilling continued after drillers were dealing with a cave-in at 4,500 feet, depth of the well was at 4,720 feet in limestone ; early reports indicated that the well was considered to have a promising outlook. Hettrich Farm Well (Towanda Borough): An updated report discussed the resolution of the earlier problems with groundwater and the need for additional casing. The article states that after casing was put down for more than 200 feet the water as [sic] shut off and now the hole is so dry that a barrel of water has to be put down every time the bailer is used. Morris Well No. 1 (Orwell Township): The article reports that a new well had been spud (approximately two miles north of Rome, PA) which was drilled to a depth of 18 feet before stopping due to a well materials issue (improper casing diameter onsite). Packard Well (Canton Township): The article reported that an exploration well previously drilled to a depth of 2,000 feet would be re-entered and that the well would be deepened as this location was anticipated to be an ideal location for natural gas.

11 1930 Groundwater Data Groundwater data gathered during a period following the resurgence of oil and gas activity in northeastern Pa. Lock Haven Formation: Natural gas (ignitable and non- ignitable), elevated sodium chloride and hydrogen sulfide. Catskill Formation: Noticeable chloride. ALL Consulting,
12 1980 Groundwater Data The 1980s groundwater quality data was gathered during a period of relatively little oil and gas activity in northeastern Pa. The findings presented in WRR 58 (1980s) are similar to the findings presented in WRR 6 (1930s) with elevated concentrations of chloride, nitrates, and sodium chloride as well as iron and manganese. Note: 1980s data does not include any findings related to the presence or measurement of natural gas in groundwater. ALL Consulting,
13 Conclusions During the late 1800s and early 1900s there were several reports of people encountering shallow pockets of gas either while drilling water supply wells or while drilling deep oil or gas wells. The presence of naturally occurring shallow gas in the potable aquifers or discharging to surface water features is not a new occurrence. Early oil well drilling and completion practices employed during the mid-1850s to the 1930s did not completely isolate groundwater aquifers from oil and gas bearing strata. The well drilling and abandonment techniques used in early oil and gas development could have further contributed to the presence of natural gas in shallow aquifers by serving as preferential conduits for vertical migration of the gas. Observations of natural gas, which on occasion were reported to be flammable, elevated sodium chloride and hydrogen sulfide in groundwater were documented in the 1930s and commented on in the 1980s. The 1930s groundwater quality data was gathered during a period following the resurgence of oil and gas activity and the 1980s groundwater quality data was gathered during a period of relatively little oil and gas activity.
