Town of Schodack NY Natural Gas Exploration

The exploration for natural gas in the United States in the last 30 yrs has been a fairly successful enterprise. The southern tier of NY has found several fields of gas now under use. In the late 1970's the southern area of Schodack had an exploratory well in the Graw Road area. The general area of the 12123 zip code. This area is near major highways and the NYS Thruway. It is also rather isolated on a small secondary road. It is barely a two car road. So , there was easy access of equipment by highway with relative isolation. The spot of the drilling is now overgrown , judged mainly by the newness of growth as compaired to the surrounding area. The woodlot is in back of the 26-28 Graw Rd area. Apparently , it was not a successful exploration as nothing came of it some 30 plus yrs later.
