Private Well Owners in Pennsylvania - Please Read ! This will benefit you and it is free.

For the past 20+ years, I have been conducting water quality analysis, baseline testing, and conducting education programs for the citizens of Pennsylvania.  Even though our groundwater resources are one of our most important assets, there is limited data on the quality and quantity of regional groundwater.

Yeah I know, but its about 6 miles north of me. I guess Im just getting impatient. Been hearing about this stuff now for two and a half years. Land has been leased about two miles west of me-(across the county line). I even got a pipeline cutting across my farm. Oh well maby in time!

Hi Brian,
I just joined this site today and learned about your ongoing course "Oil and Natural Gas Completion Course." Is there anyway myself and some other people in my firm would be able to join or is it too late? Perhaps we could get the back material that we have missed? We provide gas lease valuations for estate planning purposes and we are always trying to further educate ourselves.

Thank you in advance for your reply!

I'm scheduled to be out of town at the moment, but that sounds like a very good opportunity. I really appreciate that Brian. Let me give that some thought and get back to you on it.

I will also send you and Ryan the e-mail I promised this weekend I hope. I've been swamped as I'm sure everyone has! Hope all is well.
