This region is a physiographic area which extends from Alabama to Maine and encompasses the eastern seaboard of the United States. Scientific evidence suggests the complex geology of the Appalachian Basin was formed by a series of continental plate collisions and the subsequent deformation resulting in the Appalachian Mountains and large areas of elongated, faulted, and deformed ridges and valleys. Over time erosion has carried sediments seaward to the continental shelf and modified the landscape to the more familiar Piedmont terraine. Argos Exploration, LLC recognizes that the Appalachian Basin contains large amounts of natural resources and a long history of oil, gas, and coal production. As a matter of fact, the first oil wells ever drilled in the United States were discovered in this area and research and assessments continue to this day on these prolific coal, oil and gas deposits.
