Calla replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"The only other well that I know of in that area is Barth. I bumped them to the top of the Mahoning County forum for you.
It looks like Chesapeake is planning many wells before they even apply for permits."
Professor-JV replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"Every piece of documentation I have received from Chesapeak up till now. Has a well pad number and a Name for the well pad listed as Withers. There is a dairy farm that encompasses my property there name is Withers Dairy Farm. My assumption is that…"

I just got back the test results from GES that was hired by CHK to test the wells that are within a 3000 ft radius of a planned well unit....my well unit is the Whitmer well that is on Garfield Rd in Mahoning county. My test showed that I have methane gas in my well water. I am curious to see if anyone else has been told this and what do you do to correct this problem...See More
Larry Moore replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"In Eastern Ohio it is virtually GUARANTEED that you will have methane in your well water. This is because of the many strata of shale containing at least some organic matter. . Not to mention the wide-spread coal deposits. …"
Calla replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"When he said Whitmer well, I always thought he meant the Falb well on Garfield Rd. in Beaver Township, or possibly an unpermitted Witmer well on Garfield Rd. East of Route 46. Also in Beaver township.
The only Whitmer owned property…"
Professor-JV replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"We live right around the corner from you on St. Rt. 170 . Are you saying the Withers well pad ? This is what they are noting on all of my paper work. We also have a build up of methane in our well water test too. We just got our test back yesterday…"
ji replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"The first thing you should do is call the ODNR District Office at 330-896-0616 and report the situation to them. Even though this is a pre-drill sample, there is likely existing oil and gas wells in your area that could be possible sources. There…"
owner replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"Methane is located all throughout the ground, especially below the water table of any area. It is not just located at the deeper depths that the gas companies are after. Anerobic decomposition of matter results in the creation of…"
"And, if you are in the Coal Measures (any coal mining nearby?) it can be thermogenic methane.
A lot of funky stuff can show up in a water test in PA, OH, NY and WV.
Methane in the water can be one of the most benign constituents.
Arsenic and…"
Marcus Grayson replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"Biogenic methane is present in quite a few water wells. Like Mark O said, call the water well driller, they deal with this all the time. I'm sure the green weenies will say that the methane was there simply by virtue of…"
mark o replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"i was told my well could explode if i did not get it vented...called company that dug well....dont know what they did but they fixed it and only cost about 120 bucks...."
Kathleen replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"Hi JDM,
When we got our results back they included paper work on how not to blow ourselves up. Lol. Half our packet is concerning this since we showed methane too, but not extreme, middles of the road. I knew we had it since its pretty obvious…"
DDS replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"Just curious who "they" are?"
Lance Nimmo replied to JDM's discussion 'Water test shows Methane gas in well water'"They told my sister, "cook with the windows open." Swear to god. Hers was before they even started drilling as well."

I don't know who they have working in Ohio as I am in Pa. Ron Eiseilstein has been doing a lot of land with them and will know who to contact.
I know the lease is not as good as ours but it is still better than most. And from what I hear from local government types, Hilcorp has been good to work with.

What county/township are you in? The lease is very good. But you will not get the same lease that we got then as the group signing period has expired. You will have to negotiate your own terms. I signed in Sept, the offers have gone up since then.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
