Maybe when that is done, someone can go back to Maryland and drill into the huge sand body that was being investigated just across the river in Colonial Beach, VA for Natural Gas. The proposed well in Pope's Creek, MD never happened because environmentalists had a fit, yet those same environmentalists could not locate the dry hole marker for the well in VA without the help of a local who showed it to them, in the middle of a meadow.
With the developments in pad drilling of horizontal wells, and environmental protections now standard in the industry, the probability of any incident is even lower than before, and more resources can be developed with a smaller footprint than ever.
