Truman Action On OPA Expected At 4 Today
One year after wildcatting began in Wyoming County miners report a new natural gas field may become a top West Virginia producer. Sohin A. Clark of Hope Natural Gas says 20 producers were completed this year and 20 more likely, with wells in Raleigh and Fayette counties averaging 5,000 feet deep and producing steadily. The field could yield long term volume and is seen as essential to future development. Industry sources note ongoing pipeline and modernization work with lines laid toward Wyoming and Ohio markets, employing around 600 workers as a larger gas system expands for demand.
