"If I was a member of the Pa. legislature, hoping on big tax revenues from royalty money in the future, I'd be looking at the definition of HBP really closely to see if it needed some changes. If I have to wait decades for royalties from…"

Brian Day replied to scott brion's discussion 'Shell - Held by production with no production?' in the group Tioga County, PA"I have heard that leasing is suspended temporarily in Farmington Township. I do not know how official that is. A well, the Stanley Well I believe, in that area has been undergoing burn-off a great deal. This may or maynot be…"
Brian Day replied to Ann Ticopa's discussion 'Tioga County, PA Marcellus Shale Website' in the group Tioga County, PA"Is that the Neil well pad in Chatham township? There are some permits pending or issued for Trenton/Blackriver in the area, perhaps that is why the well is so deep."
Brian Day left a comment for scott brion"Hi Scott;
I will follow your efforts in organizing your land group to attempt to get a better deal from Shell as to the HBP issue. Actually, I am trying to ween myself off from a daily concern on the Marcellus business because life is just too…"
Brian Day replied to scott brion's discussion 'Shell - Held by production with no production?' in the group Tioga County, PA"I believe your efforts are worthwhile. I and many other landowners have accepted Shell's renewal payments, so perhaps we cannot contest things at this late date. Perhaps the situation could be contested four years from now if…"
Brian Day replied to scott brion's discussion 'Shell - Held by production with no production?' in the group Tioga County, PA"The vagueness and variable nature of the lease language from customer to customer is one of the chief reasons that I believe the Pa. government must define HBP. As for the company owning the vertical well indefinitely, I am not sure how that…"
Brian Day replied to scott brion's discussion 'Shell - Held by production with no production?' in the group Tioga County, PA"Yes Scott you are correct about my situation. I also think that some land owners in the recent past had grouped together and retained a lawyer to address the HBP issue legaly. This proccess began less than a year ago. One of…"

- I have not encountered a land man recently. The negotiator who began the most recent lease arrangements pissed off people that I respect a great deal before I ever talked to any land men. Aquaintances and friends here in Wyoming who work in the industry informed me on what should be an equitable lease.

Marcellus Shale Unit or Pool Size Limits
I brought up this subject recently in the Tioga County, Pa. forum, but I feel I should raise the issue to a wider audience. As I am informed, there seems to be no law in Pennsylvania limiting the size of a unit or pool around a given well. The assumption is that the unit will be around the size of a section - 640 acres- a square mile. Some units are a little bigger or smaller, depending on the geography of the actual drilling of the well's horizontal leg. If unit size is limited in a given…

Future Geothermal from emptied, fracked gas wells.
I had a short but interesting conversation with a friend of mine who works with a think tank for developing new sources of energy. They are experimenting with pumping water into deep fracked wells (8000 Feet he says.) The water is heated by the naturaly high temperatures at that depth. The water could be recovered at the other end of the fracked area and used to generate energy through steam turbines. I don't know how far along they are, but it might be something to consider when signing a… Continue

Was looking at the May issue of Discover Magazine and there is an article called Fracking Nation. Very interesting. I now know more of how this type of drilling is and much more. If you get a chance pick up a copy. BJ Jackson Tioga Co.

- Hi Brian just got a chance to get on computer since we are not doing pipeline work for Anadarko until next tuesday. Dads well has just been vertical drilled, now he is waiting for the horizontal drilling. Yes the job is still good but not all fun since we are in Centre county living in a motel and only get home on sundays. Looks like Cruttendens well is under way along with alot more activity around here.
