Chesapeake must like what it is seeing in Perry Township. This permit expired for the 2 year period and they repermitted it and are going to drill it now. Looks like Tusc County is starting to heat up finally.

Drove through open gates there yesterday - no sign of the unit pad yet - but lots of pipelines...and the county road out front  of gates is expanding to accommodate expected gas/oil traffic!

Agree that things are heating up with three of the big players having very recent activity in Tuscarawas.  All within ~6 miles of each other:

Enervest - Nettle

Chevron - Gooding

CHK - Dutch Valley

...and Parker Well's success for CHK - already filed for a second well there!

......keep drilling in Tusc! More wells with good results is good for everyone.

It seems that it is being "slow played" for now.  That's OK.....they are learning and

figuring the "code" out. Tusc. landowners will do well when all is said and done.

 Dutch Valley 7-5-1 2H?  554.78 Acres?  Why such the large acreage compared to other permits?

Four laterals?

each lateral has it's own permit..........they make big units so they can hold all of the acreage by production.

not to say more laterals wont go in..........then they just revise the unit.

Thanks!!  This stuff is all new to a lot of us.

I see the road is getting a face lift over there.

Yes.  Someone is spending some major money on the road improvements!!!!  

According to the road crew they are digging circa 2 feet down, filling with 1 foot Portland cement and other materials before topping it off - to withstand the expected increase in weight from the gas/oil well trucks. The "improvements" begin at the Dutch Valley well gates and will go all the way to Rt 258.  They expect to be done in a couple weeks and say drilling pad prep is scheduled to commence right after. As noted earlier, not a sign of any pad there yet.

 As to the above question and comment : "Dutch Valley 7-5-1 2H?  554.78 Acres?  Why such the large acreage compared to other permits?

each lateral has it's own permit..........they make big units so they can hold all of the acreage by production. not to say more laterals wont go in..........then they just revise the unit."

...and why is CHK NOW going door to door in the Dutch Valley neighborhood telling old Enervest lessors that they, CHK, now own the deep rights to those old Enervest leases and Perry Township is going to have the largest unit of record - 1500 acres!?! And just to whose benefit is that supposed to be?

Can someone post a map (or link) of where the new Tuscarawas County wells are?  My land is in Goshen twp and I'm curious to see how close they may be getting.  I'm under an old lease (from 1961!), unfortunately, that was sold to Sierra a couple of years ago (not sure if they still have it, or not) and have not been approached about modifying it to allow a larger drilling unit.  So, I don't expect any activity soon, especially given the dropping oil prices.
