This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil and Gas Fields of the Carnegie Quadrangle, Pennsylvania The materials composing the rocks of the Carnegie quadrangle were deposited as sediments under water. Each bed is therefore a more or less continuous stratum spread out over areas relatively large as compared with its thickness. All beds show variation in thickness and composition from place to place, because of the lack of uniform conditions of deposition. The sediments which formed the clays, shales, or slates of the drillers were fine-grained muds washed in by waves and streams. Sandstones came from sands, the grains of which were washed and assorted by waves and currents. The lime stones of the quadrangle were probably formed from shells and other calcareous remains of animals that flourished in the seas, bays, and lagoons in which they were laid down. Red rock is a shale com posed Of finely divided particles of clay containing much iron oxide, and it was probably brought into the body of water in which it was deposited by streams from some Old deeply weathered land surface. Coal was formed in swamps and shallow lagoons from vegetation that grew in or adjacent to them. For convenience of description, these rocks are divided into two groups - those not exposed at the surface and those that outcrop. Stratigraphically, these groups are discussed by smaller subdivisions or formations, taken in the order of their deposition from Oldest to youngest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches: The Olean Rock City; Historic Glimpses of Olean, New York; The Bradford Oil District; Historic Glimpses of Bradford, Pennsylvania In the dim past when the morning stars sang together, the Great Conglomerate was long ages in being created, and was re markable as the floor upon which were laid those deposits of incalculable value to man kind - the Coal Measures of the world. By the geologist's hammer and by borings for coal and petroleum, the conglomerate can be traced as it inclines from the surface of the ground at Rock City to a depth at Pitts burgh of three hundred feet, and at Wheel ing, West Virginia, of seven hundred feet, with nine seams of coal resting upon it. It was necessary that there should be an eleva tion and a subsidence for every seam of coal. This rock is the best guide for the coal and oil prospector and he always keeps a record of its depth and thickness.

So that, even if petroleum was not originally deposited in the rocks under the Red Bank and Mahoning region, it has been brought thither by underground drainage, and must- come up at Brady's Bend through wells bored to depths ranging from two or three to ten or eleven hundred feet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Petroleum and Natural Gas in New York State, Vol. 16: A Paper Read Before the American Institute of Mining Engineers, Duluth Meeting, July, 1887; Revised to June, 1888 The occurrence of oil- and gas-springs in the State of New York has been a fact of historical record since 1627, when the existence of the Cuba oil-spring was first recorded. The utilization of natural gas at Fredonia in 1821 attracted the attention of the public to the possibility of obtaining an illuminating gas by digging and drilling into the rocks. No active search was made, however, for oil or gas by the drilling of wells until after the discovery of commercial oil in Pennsylvania in 1859. In 1862 a well was drilled at Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania, but a few miles south of the New York state line, to the depth of 200 feet, in search of the oil-sand which had been found at Titusville, Oil City, and at other points in Western Pennsylvania. Immediately subsequent to this, other wells were drilled in search of petroleum at a number of points in New York, particularly in the western part of the State. Some explorations have been made, in an unsystematic way, for oil ever since, explorers being much encouraged in their search by the development of the Allegany oil-district in 1879 and 1880. Immediately subsequent to the general utilization of natural gas in Pennsylvania in 1882 and 1883, a new interest was taken in the drilling of exploration wells, more particularly in search of gas. The principal object of this paper is to publish a record of the explorations which have been made up to date for oil and gas in the State. I have not mentioned every well which has been drilled, but only the more important ones with which I am familiar.
