It started in Gen. 1,1 when God created it.

Geologists have known for many decades that the "Mother Lode", or the actual source formation (Some call it "the Kitchen") was responsible for supplying the Berea, Clinton, etc formations with their hydrocarbons.

We just didn't have the technology to extract it, until, really the last 25 years or so.

The point is, the basic premise that it was down AND WAS THE SOURCE there has been known for at least a century.

Academic papers way back provide the earliest clues and some include Carroll County and surrounding areas as their source for this basic information.

There was always talk in our family of these sources - with the ever present qualification that "it's not worth getting out, even if we knew how to.

Everything after that is the usual progression of knowledge, technology, market forces that finally are congealing into a new growth industry, reborn from the heady hard-drinking days of the old steam powered cable tool rigs, "when men were men, and women liked it"!
