In September, 2008, Houston, Texas-based Cabot Oil and Gas Corp. was reported to be actively drilling in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. It paid a fine to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission of $375,000 for not complying with limits on water withdrawal for wells in Dimock and Springville townships. As of this date, a dozen well pads have been set up along state Route 3023, the road that winds through Dimock and Springfield south of Montrose, Pennsylvania. The company reportedly holds permits for drilling 18 more wells there.

The 183 acres Ken Ely farm in Dimock Twp. is the site of six of the wells.

Another Cabot site in Dimock was in the news in January, 2009, the Norma Fiorentino farm on Route 2024, where a natural gas explosion was reported.
