Consol Energy leases Monroe Co. acres for $5,000 per ac and 20% gross royalty ! Consol has holdings in NE Oh counties as well.

Informed, patient, landowners.

Today the seismic cable company was laying cable all the way up Auburn to Painesville.  T.G.C was on the side of the trucks.  Company out of Texas.

Thumber trucks making their way through the heart of Geauga county this week.  Right up Auburn road, from south of Washington to north of Mayfield.  TGC (I think) written on the doors; didn't get close enough to read the logo.  Bodes well, me thinks.

Tilia:

The only difference between straight hole fracing and horizontal well fracing, is that you are doing multiple fracs with only one penetration thru the aquifer, rather than multiple penetraions thru the aquifers.

Each individual hydraulic fracturing stimulation along the horizontal well path, and a single hydraulic fracturing stimulation in a straight hole are exactly the same.

For example, in a typical horizontal well you will have something like 17 individual perforations and fracs. You could achieve the same amount of production with 17 individual straight hole wells and 17 fracs. However, to drill these 17 individual straight hole wells, you have 17 times the expense to get down to the targeted formation.  For each of these 17 straight holes you will only produce 1/17th of the production that you will get with the horizontal well, and the wells will be uneconomical to drill (ie the investors drilling the wells will lose money).  Because of that economic reality, the Utica Shale was never drilled as a conventional straight hole target.

Now Tilia, this is the part where you want to pay attention:

As I said earlier (and this was the findings of the Ohio DNR), the problem with the Bainbridge well (and for that matter The BP Blowout int the Gulf of Mexico), was improper cementing of the production casing.

If you were to drill these 17 individual straight holes, you will give an operator 17 more chances to go brain dead and screw up their cement job, and possibly communicate saltwater or gas from down in the productive formation with a aquifer. This should NEVER happen if any care is taken with the cementing operation. But as we all know that mistakes happen, and by limiting the number of penetration thru the aquifers, you actually are reducing the number of chances for screw up.

So in conclusion, horizontal drilling actually limits the numbers of penetrations thru the aquifers and reduces the chances that our water supply is compromised.

The only difference is that a horozontal frac has perhaps 20 stages to it due to the bore extending into a formation  perhaps over a milk where a conventional frac on a vertical well may be only 150 feet of formation. There is thousands of feet between the Clinton formation and the Utica  for even a higher degree of safety as well. With three wells on my property and surrounding my property even more with fracked wells in the Clinton the Utica I fear not! Drill Baby Drill!
