This led to the discovery of the Wayne-Tyrone gas pool in Schuyler County, New York, in March, 1930; the Tioga pool in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in September, 1930; and the Hebron pool in Potter County, Pennsylvania, in November, 1931. In these three pools the gas occurs in the Oriskany sandstone.From a great many of the wells complete sets of drill cutting samples have been taken, so that accurate sections of the strata penetrated can be constructed. Through the courtesy of companies and individual operators engaged in drilling in this area, samples from . . . This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
