Inspired by Mr. Miller's Bradford County Unit Map, I've created a similar map of gas wells in NE Bradford County.

Thanks Marty. A really great addition to the unit maps Miller has been faithfully updating. Where do you find the data to plot the well Hz. bores? So far, I have only been able to find that on well permit plats which are kind of hard to access in volume.
can you provide the link for where you I fnid well plats? I was unaware they were available online. Thanks
They're not online, I worked through the Pennsylvania Geological Survey office in Pittsburgh. Their Service Request Policy is attached.

marty, are you planning to put the new production for the second half of 2012
sorry my caps. not working.
The indicated well bores seems to reflect the proposed location on the well permit plats that are filed AND NOT precise locations. I have the 'as-builts' on a well drilled (obtained from a file review at DEP in Williamsport) that, at the end, deviates 400 lateral feet from the planned bottom hole (and the path getting there wasn't straight either). This is not a lone example. I don't see this as a problem as its my hope the operations folks would seek to optimize the success of a well and steer the bit as necessary respecting the ownership and lease terms of those in the area.
Updated map is attached to this reply. To answer some of the previous questions: 1) Production information from 2012-2 and 2013-1 are included; 2) Well bores are plotted from the well location plats on the permits.
Marty, I assume the dark green line is a drilled well and the light green is a proposed one.
Do you have any way of telling what the time tables are for any of the proposed well shown on your map?
Three different shades of each color: 100% (darkest) represent producing wells; 66% (medium) represent wells SPUD or wells where drilling has started; and 33% (lightest) represent current and expired well permits that haven't had any drilling or production activity. I use the PA DEP's Premit Issued Detailed Report, SPUD Data Report, and the semi-annual Unconventional Well Production Reports to determine each well's status.
Regarding actual drilling, completion, and production schedules, your best bet is the individual companies themselves.
But here's what I've concluded during my work on this map. In 2008 when gas prices where high the E&P companies wanted to fully develop their leases. They created units and applied for permits for all the wells in these units. As production started and prices started to fall, the companies switched to a HBP strategy - they drilled one or two of the permitted wells to hold the unit and allowed the others permits to expire. Now that most of the county is held by production, the companies' current permit application activity more accurately respresent their drilling intentions... just my two cents...
I can open Mr Miller's map but not this one. Any ideas why not? For some reason Google Earth is "not responding" when I try to view this map but does respond perfectly when I open the Miller map. Do I have to delete information in Google Earth regarding the Miller map in order to see the Marty Map? Thank you for any advice regarding this matter.

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 ] |
