2509667 | Primary Facility | 2016-08-11 | Routine/Complete Inspection | No Violations Noted | Inspection of the Grover Burkhardt (081-20009) abandoned gas well in Lycoming County was conducted on August 11, 2016 at 11:15 am.

However, after discovering the original well record in our historical records database, it was revealed that TD is at 6854'. Additionally, further research shows the Tully Formation is much shallower in this area than 5664', and may be an error on the report. |
