The total output of oil in the Pennsylvania regions, between 1859 and 1883, is estimated at about 234,800,000 barrels enough oil to fill a tank about 10,000 feet square, nearly two miles to a side, to a depth of over 131/2 feet. In the years 1876-1884, inclusive, 28,619 wells were sunk; this is an average of 3,179 per year.
