Discovered in April, 1919

A brief history of that venture is
contained in the topographic and
geologic atlas Of Pennsylvania pre-
pared for the Pennsylvania Geolog-
ical Survey. The McKeesport pool
was discovered in April. 1919. The
third we'll in the field was drilled in
August of that year and yielded an
initial production of 100000 cubic
feet. Production continued to in
crease until Sept "a when a maxi
mum of 56,117,00o cubic feet was
reached.
Contracted for at a price Of II
cents a 1000 cubic feet. the produc-
ton from this we'll represented a
daily income to the owners of
about ss.500.0 00." the study says
"One days production repaid the
entire cost Of the well. Is it any
wonder that thousands of people
residing in the Pittsburgh district
and struggling TO make a bare living
were tempted to invest their savings
in other companies which sprang up
overnight and which profeSSed to
have leases within stones throw of
the big well?"
Just Like All Bubbles
The gullible continued to invest
in McKeesport stocks and more COM
panies we're incorporated and more
contracts let for the drilling of
wells. BY the middle of January,
1920. more than 600 wells had been
contracted for and more than 1000
wells we're contemplated. The num-
Der Of wells drilled becomes alarm
ing when it is considered that the
total area of sand production IN the
field was only 664 acres.
But, like all bubbles, it burst. The
Geological Survey. placing an aver
age figure Of $4,000 upon each well
drilled, declares that at least Sl3.-
900, 900 was spent on this activity
during the boom in the McKeesport
field. The gas obtained was sold at
an average Of IS cents 1000 cubic
feet.
At that price the field has pro-
duced gas worth approximately
$3,l5o,0o0. II is doubtful, the au-
thority concludes, II the total value
Of the gas produced will ever reach
$500, 900. Thus, the loss in this
field alone may be calculated at
$500. 900.
