History
Pennsylvania General Energy Company was founded in 1978, in the city of Warren by four businessmen. Today, PGE is a leading, privately owned, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company in the Appalachian Basin. By relying on the right people, advanced technology and a personal business approach, the business partners who came together in 1978 to take a chance on a new venture have built PGE into a proud and growing organization making positive contributions to the region’s economy and environment.

Development
Pennsylvania General Energy Company’s 30-plus years of oil and natural gas development experience in the Appalachian Basin has continued with the drilling and completion of the company’s first Marcellus Shale well in early 2005. PGE is one of the first companies to successfully explore the Marcellus formation. Since that time, PGE has maintained a strong horizontal well drilling program.
PGE is proud of this accomplishment and excited about the contributions natural gas from the Marcellus Shale has made to Pennsylvania’s energy portfolio and the economic boom it has provided to many individuals, families, businesses and communities where these natural gas reserves have been found.
As a company founded in Pennsylvania and focused on treating its landowners as partners in the development of new oil and natural gas wells, PGE strives to be a leader in all aspects of its operations. This includes a commitment to fairness and a personal approach to property owners that is unmatched in the Appalachian Basin.
Environmental Development
PGE is committed to finding new and innovative approaches to develop Pennsylvania’s resources in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner. Prior to undertaking any project PGE staff carefully evaluates potential environmental impacts and works with regulators and landowners to develop an effective strategy to protect the environment.
