questions regarding the trenton

Does anyone know if they are going to drill into the trenton or have they already done so?
If they did what was the outcome. If they haven't does anyone have any idea were they might start looking first. I know it is quite deep. They thought the utica would be over cooked at depths they are know thinking might produce.

Any information would be appreciated. Even if it is off topic but regarding the trenton. I know very little about it. My property is in wetzel and tyler about half way down the county line.

Heard will be doing seismic testing in Trenton Black River in March in Carroll, Harrison, Belmont in Ohio etc...not sure if in your area

  Hybrid Unconventional Resource.  There are many potential target zones.

Nice map..Black River is what I heard  seismic testing will be done for..thanks

Seismic company rep just called me, testing starting in January for all shales below Utica and also to see if can place more laterals in Utica wells with less spacing.

I'm not a geologist but there are some good lookin shales with dolomite limestone stringers in the Knox formation(Cambrian)

Good to know that potential for double/triple stack plays in Ohio...Marcellus too shallow in Ohio except for maybe far southeast

Robert, just linking some Marcellus info for you and those unfamiliar with what is happening with Marcellus  formation in Ohio.

44 permits;   27 wells drilled in four counties;   11 wells producing as of 10/25/14   12 companies drilled or have permits;  on chart it looks as if two more companies,  but those are now owned by companies included in the 12.    The number producing varies as new Marcellus or Utica wells are drilled on these same pads the producing ones have to be shut in.

Belmont  9 permits

Carroll    1

Jefferson  2

Monroe     32

There are also several vertical Marcellus wells in the area bordering Ohio River in SE Ohio which have been producing for about four years.   Several of those wells have significant amounts of Marcellus formation as in 75 to 80 feet.

Biggest question is how far does the formation extend into these counties?   Only time will tell.

 Searcherone,

I am pretty familiar with that activity, its mostly in far SE part of those counties, the Carroll County well was awhile ago and none have been drilled since.I believe in central Carroll County Marcellus only about 30 feet thickness, gets thicker as move to east and south.Shales below Utica offer greater potential....hope seismic testing warrants test wells..would be a huge development if there is an economically viable shale in addition to Utica/PP.

Robert,

So those in the far SE parts of several southern counties could have the possibility of four paying zones?  

Eclipse has written a number of leases listing three zones, but not the Trenton/black river.

Right on PA  border may have Marcellus, Utica and Upper Devonian, not sure about  Black River and other shales below Utica.

Consol Energy has stacked plays in areas near PBurgh that have Marcellus, Utica, Burkett and Rhinestreet...believe Burkett and Rhinestreet are part of Upper Devonian. Four plays on one pad. There is a lot of info on Consol and Range Resources websites presentations per stack plays in SW PA, has not been any mention yet of OH stacked plays.

Hey guys! They have drilled 1 well on patterson well down to black river and they capped it. That's when she'll had it. I was told they had a lot of mud ? So they capped it and have'nt done nothing with it since.
