We know that the old home on this place also had natural gas piped into it. There were lanterns fixed to the walls with pipeline attached. The house, unfortunately, was a victim of arson shortly after we bought the farm and we never gave much thought about the possiblity of natural gas being found. So, we continued with the clean up of the land and have built a house close to where the old one sat. We have been kicking ourselves now for not investigating the pipelines that were in the old house and covering everything up. My question for anyone...How do we go about finding this natural gas now without digging the entire place up? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Hello,

You should do some research at your local courthouse to verify mineral ownership as well. If you do not own the minerals there is no benefit to them being produced. Contact me if you have any questions. James,

I enquired and found out that at one time even natural gas was piped into the the old home here that I bought with the property from this old well and you can see a continual bubbling out through the crude laying in this pit. Could this be natural gas as well, along with the crude oil I see? My other question is, I saw a news article about a gentleman in Indiana that was approched by an oil company to drill in his backyard and he allowed it and now are getting 3 barrels a day from that well. And they said even at that rate it is economically viable. Can you direct me to someone, anyone, phone numbers and or addresses that might be able to help me evaluate this well to see if it is a viable canidate for commercial production? Your help in this matter is appreciated, thank you, James Jernigan Hello,
