The public schools of Oil City provided James O. Breene's early formal education, and he also attended high school there and the Hill School in Pottstown. Graduated from the Hill School in 1924, he became a student at Yale University.

At the conclu­sion of that period, he became an oil producer in Oil City, associating himself in business with his father and at the same time entering the oil business as an independ­ent producer. The Petroleum Explosives Company of Oil City was incorporated in 1935 and he was president and general manager.
