Speechley Gas Pool Well PA1707 |
|
|
Here on April 15, 1885, at a depth of 1, 963 feet, Samuel Speechley completed a natural gas well that was sufficient, for a time, to supply all of Oil City & nearby communities. At the pool of this well was discovered a deep gas bearing sand-stone belt--named the "Speechley Sand" in his honor--extending through much of Pennsylvania into West Virginia. This well continued in operation under successive owners into the early 1990's.
