Unit size

Does anyone know what the smallest unit a company will drill? I have 240 acres and they are going to put the rig on my property. But i dont think anyone else around has a lease signed that i know of. So is 240 acers enough for them to drill the permits already have been issued?

Where are you located?  A few of the single lateral wells in Ohio have been drilled with an original unit size of 150 - 180 acres.

I am referring to horizontal wells also.  But so far, they have only drilled one horizontal lateral at each location.  If/when the O&G company decides to add more laterals, they may at that time expand the unit.  That is yet to be seen.  But if you do an internet search for the Buell well in Harrison County, Ohio, you should be able to find some preliminary production #'s & I believe that it was drilled on either 144 or 177 acres.  Can't remember exactly.

You can find out all of the permits issued and their progress on a site like this for WV.

It's so easy to find with the DEP.

Here's the one for WV.

 http://www.dep.wv.gov/oil-and-gas/databaseinfo/Pages/OGD.aspx

 Then go to the Search permits, then put your county and Marcellus in.
