The Appalachian area includes portions of the states of Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee and covers an area of over 185,000 square miles. It is the most mature oil and natural gas producing region in the United States, first establishing oil production in 1859.
The Appalachian area is strategically located near high energy demand areas with limited supply. As a result, the natural gas from this area typically commands a higher well head price relative to other North American areas.
Although the Appalachian area has sedimentary formations indicating the potential for deposits of oil and natural gas reserves up to depths of 30,000 feet or more, most production in this area has been derived from relatively shallow, low porosity and permeability sand and shale formations at depths of 1,000 feet to 6,000 feet.
Operations in the area are generally characterized by long reserve lives, high drilling success rates and a large number of low productivity wells in these shallow formations. In the Appalachian area, there are more than 200,000 producing wells and 3,100 operators, with most being relatively small, private enterprises.
