Marcellus Shale Drilling Starts in Perry Township
Shell Oil has begun drilling on the Gerald and Suzanne Twentier property off Breakneck Bridge Road in Perry Township as part of Marcellus Shale exploration. A top hole rig was moved after initial drilling, with a conductor rig to follow and a larger horizontal rig to be assembled in parts, possibly visible from a distance. The Patterson farm in New Beaver Borough is also slated for a larger rig, and state park proximity near McConnell's Mill State Park is noted. Other companies, Rex Energy and Hilcorp Energy, are planning similar shale projects in Lawrence County.
