The Hebron gas field was discovered in 1931, has been completely developed with the exception of possible extensions and is now approaching the final stage of depletion. Gas is produced from the Oriskany sandstone which was discovered as a producing horizon in this general territory in 1930. Gas occurs in a narrow, elongate closure on one of the long, sinuous, parallel anticlines characteristic of folding in the northern Appalachian province. Geologically and economically, this field is typical of other small, high-pressure, readily depleted Oriskany fields of northern Pennsylvania and southern New York, which have been in the process of discovery and development since 1930.
