Warren, Pennsylvana-based Pennsylvania General Energy Corp. (aka PGE) is a privately owned, independent oil and gas exploration and production company that operates over 1,100 wells in the Appalachian Basin. It owns drilling rights to 439,000 acres in Pennsylvania and New York and drills about 100 new wells per year. Much of this land is prospective for Marcellus shale including leases located in Elk, Forest, McKean and Potter counties in Pennsylvania. PGE has a number of vertical Marcellus wells and completed drilling of its first horizontal well in Potter County during July, 2008.
