SO YOU THINK THERE COULD BE SOME LIQUIDS AT THE WHITICRE WELL

with that much gas coming out of a well i wonder if it will give other gas companies an incentive to drill around that location in the near future even if the price of natural gas stays around the same mark ,,,2333barrels a day times 90dollers =209970 a day that times 30=6,299,100 a month that times 12=75,589,200 a year    HG ENERGY IS CURRENTLY DRILLING ANOTHER WELL IN MONROE COUNTY

Jeff,

That's BOE/D as in barrels of equivalent not barrels of oil. BOE is a uniform number used to compare apples to apples in the industry and is NOT used for pricing. Even if it were BBL, that number would decline probably by 60%, give or take, within the first year.

I believe the Utica over there is dry but the Marcellus is wet as it's a stacked play...

Jay, this is a layman's opinion of the wet marcellus area for Monroe Co.:

Jackson, Lee, Ohio, Salem, Switzerland townships  these townships all border the Ohio River and

Jackson Twp: Beaver marcellus well drilled 2010 by Beck Energy vertical only.

Lee Twp: the Tippens well is actually Green Twp,but is on the Jackson, Lee Twps border;  local knowledge is well is coming to Stalder property with lots of  laterals  this is all Eclipse Resources

Ohio Twp.  Eisenbarth well is producing in marcellus  drilled by Protege and now owned by Statoil;  Magnum Hunter now has the Ormet well that was drilled vertical a couple of years ago  now drilling another well with hortizontal laterals.   Eclipse has made statement that the btus on this Ormet well is 1400.

Salem Twp.  The laterals from Ormet well look as if they will reach into Salem.

Switzerland Twp.  XTO has permit to drill a marcellus and a utica on a pad in this twp.

All this is laymen's HO.  Comments from those of you more knowledgeable than me would be appreciated, as well as corrections.

Doug,

Extrapolation of previous data points (wells). My information is 6m old so things may have changed a bit since the industry is fluid rather than static and I haven't kept the map updated.

As you'll see from the Utica Map for PA-Ohio, the position of the dry line as of last August. As far as the Marcellus is concerned, the wet gas portion runs eastward from Ohio into WVa and generally follows the line from central Greene County along Range's acreage in Washington County up through eastern Allegheny County through southeastern Butler and follows the general line just west of XTO's acreage in Armstrong, Indian, etc.

Jeff, as an add on to Joe's information the average price realized per BOE is based on the contents.  So a well making 100% gas producing 2,000 BOE is less valuable than a well that is 25% gas, 50% NGL and 25% condensate making 1,500 BOE.  It's a really antiquated measurement that confuses people and makes it tougher to figure out what the actual price realized is.  For instructional purposes I'll put out there that Gulfport is getting ~$40 BOE from their Utica wells (this is an estimate based on where their hedges are currently).  So the math isn't straightforward.

Jay,

As I mentioned earlier, that map and well data is from August so I'm sure things have changed a bit...I don't have a specific map, per se. Rather, other geological maps that I've seen from several other geologists.
