New Wells in New York

Again, focusing outside of New York's traditionally most active oil and gas areas in the westernmost part of the state, here is the latest available information on drilling permits applied for or permitted, or wells spudded, bottomed out, completed, or plugged.  


A close observer will note that there's more to drilling in New York than just oil and gas exploration and development.  In fact, this list of recent activity reveals several other reasons why somebody would want to drill a well:  

1) a number of salt-mining-oriented operations; 

2) an academic institution which proposes to drill a well in order to learn what's there; and 

3) a green energy renewables developer which has spudded a well in an effort to exploit the heat of the earth (on Manhattan Island — Madison Avenue at East 62nd Street).
