Supreme Court paves way for Chief Logan drilling
November 3, 2010 by Ken Ward Jr. 
The West Virginia state Supreme Court of Appeals has just issued an opinion that affirms a Logan Circuit Court decision paving the way for oil and gas drilling at Chief Logan State Park.
Justices ruled that a state law that bans such drilling does not apply, because it was enacted after a 1960 deed in which previous owners of the property preserved their mineral rights and the right to drill for oil and gas.
