Drilling for Oil on Merrit Farm Near Grove City
GROVE CITY, Pa. Sept 15 The gas well drilled in Findley township on the H R Merrit farm near Uardoe is the second drilled by Grove City operators on a 400 acre tract. The first was on the Jas Houton farm where a good gas well was struck. Contractor driller Bob Phillips in charge says the Merrit result is even better. The New Wilmington Gas Co held this territory under lease for years and many wells drilled previously produced well but now show long-term decline.
