Lehman

There is a Chesapeake well pad going in about 2000 feet SE of my house. Document board out front says it is the Lehman well. Has a well number and GPS coordinates. Then it gets confusing. It says the well is in Hanover township. This is not Hanover township, it is Fairfield. The well pad is off of the east side of route 7 between Rt. 46 and Crestview rd. Why would the sign say Hanover township? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Typo, maybe?

That's what I thought.

Lehman 24-12-8H

Well Number 835572

40.848702 N  -  -80.651108 W is on the sign

The pad is actually about here - http://goo.gl/maps/jN2b

Forever1948,

 I do not undertand an API Well number of 835572.

 API Well Numbers are typically of the format 34-029-2714x-0000 where ...

 34 = Ohio

 029 = Columbiana County

 2174x = Sequential well #'s for Columbiana Cty

 0000 = Vertical or 0100 = Horizontal

 

 Who is the Driller - Chesapeake ?

That also had me puzzled Utica. What I had on my previous message was verbatim from the sign board at the front of the site. I'll look again on my way home from work and see if I missed anything. This is the picture I took of the 911 sign. Chesapeake is the driller. They started working last Monday. There is an area graded off back off the road and a temporary dirt road in. They also have soil and erosion controls (straw waddles and such) put in also.

Definitely Fairfield Township.


I know just enough to be dangerous. :) We live about .5 miles from the Lehman home/property as accessed from Crestview Road - assuming the well is going in somewhere in the vicinity of Crestview/SR 7 "as the crow flies" what are the chances that someone roughly .5-1 mile SE of that well will be included in royalties from that? 

We were sent water testing docs and simultaneously visited by young men working for the well testing company but I understand that's just a precaution for a certain distance out from any well?  

Will this be likely to be the closest well to us (I'm assuming they don't put them much closer to each other?)

KS,

 ".. what are the chances that someone roughly .5-1 mile SE ..."

 If you are 0.5 to 1.0 Miles SSE from here: http://goo.gl/maps/jN2b

 And they drill three laterals that go SSE "South - Southeast" (typical) then

 there is a 99.9% chance you will be in a Production Unit from that well site.

 

 "... Will this be likely to be the closest well to us ..."

 Approx pad spacing (given 3 laterals NNW and 3 laterals 3 SSE) could be ...

 a) every 3,000' in the East-West direction

 b) every 2 Miles in the North - South direction

 You could have 6 pads within a two mile radius of your acreage.

 A pad directly North or directly South of you could be slighly closer to your property.

 

 1 - 6 are the pads and X is YOU ...

 

    1   2   3

 

         X

 

    4   5   6

 

 You would most likely be in a Production Unit from Pad # 1 SSE (Lehman) or Pad # 6 NNW.

KS. On those water papers should be a well listed on the upper left hand corner. Also a customer service number for CHK was included in mine so I called it. I gave them my county and parcel number and they were able to tell if I was in or out of that unit. They only have lease ID numbers and parcel numbers so just giving them your name doesn't work. I am leased but do not have a lease ID number to my knowledge but they worked around it using the parcel #. They can't or couldn't when I called tell you the exact acreage in, just if your half in, all in, just a hair in but either way it's more info than you have now. These people at the number are very happy to talk to people who are not yelling at them so think about calling since honestly it's a bunch of fun. ;0). So far I cannot confirm one person who got these papers and was not in some way included in a unit. Good luck.

Looks like the numbers are coordinates. Went by this morning and was gonna check the whiteboard but they were working at the drive mouth laying heavy stone for the road going back to the pad which is back the lane to the right...or south.

Linda,

 Correct those numbers in the picture are the Latitude and Longitude of the location of the driveway on North Main street (SR-7).

 

 Per forever1948, the pad is closer to this location ...
