In PA I beleive fracking is more viable due to the ability to drill horizontally.

Was that available back then or is it the reason it is more viable now?

Just curious.

Should have noted that the wells we staked in the 60’s 70’s were vertical. They were west of Ft Worth, Texas.

George Mitchell invented the rotating drill bit later, perhaps in the 90’s, can’t remember. That set off the boom.
