Here is where some info about Chief Oil and Gas should go.
This article is still a stub and needs your attention. It does

in and help it grow!

Dallas, Texas-based Chief Oil and Gas is a privately held, independent exploration and production company. It is working with Union Drilling Inc. in Pennsylvania who is well operator for several Marcellus wells being drilled for Chief in Lycoming County in northeastern Pennsylvania.

A late 2007 report found Chief having drilled two wells in Mifflin Township and one in Watson Township. Both are in Lycoming County. Another well was planned in Penn Township.

In September, 2008, Chief was reported having paid a fine to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission of $250,000 for not complying with limits on water withdrawal for wells in the Basin.

An October, 2008 report noted that Chief has been very active leasing property in Bradford County, Pennsylvania with 627 leases having been recorded with the County Registrar of Deeds. Only Chesapeake Appalachia LLC has recorded more.

In November, 2008, a report appeared about a drilling project Chief has underway near Hughsville, Pennsylvania on the Barto farm off Beaver Lake Road in rural Lycoming County. Again Union Drilling is operating the drilling rig.

A later November report found Chief hydro-fracturing its second well on the Kensinger farm also located in Hughsville. Richard Thurston is the on-site project manager.

An early December report identified Chief as drilling in Mifflin Township, located approximately twenty miles east of Hughsville, also in Lycoming County. This vertical well was also being hydro-fractured.

William Buckler is Chief's Senior Vice President of Operations.

Kristi Gittins is a spokeswoman for the company.
