Mercer County's Largest Gas Well Brought In on Bailey Farm
A new gas well on the John E. Bailey farm near Athens is Mercer County's largest, producing nearly 2,600,000 cubic feet daily. United Fuel Gas Co. plans a new drilling operation as 26 million foot wells are considered average in West Virginia, with potential higher yields at other sites. The Bailey farm, on about 350 acres, already has a small producing well, and access to the site is via a road from the Princeton Athens road. Royalty to landowners runs about one eighth of the value, estimated at 3 cents per thousand cubic feet.
