That's exactly what I thought when a passerby told me the drilling rig was back. Glad for your response, saves me a trip to see.

A lot of noise coming from the McClain well site.  Sounds like they are fracking.  Cant see because of the trees. 

Not fracking , their just doing some type of testing on the wells. Supposed to frack in December, possibly

There has been a lot of activity up here on Putney for the last 4 days or more. A lot of noise down on the McClain, sounds like a big machine. Been lots of traffic down there, but the water lines to frac are not in yet.

Before we left for Florida last week the guy who negotiated the temporary water line said that fracking is still scheduled for December but they are marking for the lines and saying we will be paid soon.

About 6 or 8 over-sized loads by the house today, going out Putney to some location I don't know of, presumably the gathering facility on Grape Hollow.

I wish Chesapeake would wait to open the McClain for production until prices go back up, even if it takes two years or more.

When you're cash poor you gotta do what you gotta do.

Hang in there guys, oil has never gone down without going back up.

Yep,all that traffic is going down to the gathering facility. Installing alot of stuff down their. All day yesterday huge trucks with machinery. I hope to God they don't have more noise coming from that place!!!  That flame has been sounding like a jet lately. Also tired of my house vibrating!!! 

I used to be able to see the flame from my bedroom window but haven't seen it for a while.

It would have been nice had they pipelined (if possible) the oil out of here and saved us all the tanker trucks in and out.

Has there been any flaring tonight or last night from that site? I live on arrowhead rd , last two nights I couldswear I smelled something like kerosene in the air after dark. I remembered the same smell when I travel past the site near Fairview exit.

Not to much flaring from the grape hollow site or did you mean a different one? I'm glad I haven't smelled anything like that. I usually can smell stuff easy too. We are only 1/2 mile from it too.

Thanks for the reply...yes grape hollow or any nearby . I don't know if its possible me to smell that here but I suppose with the cloud cover its possible.

Chesapeake has set up the McClain pad for fracking, many trucks running in and out and a lot of noise. Last night laying in bed I could hear it even over the TV.

They have not yet run a temporary water line though, I hope they don't try to run it the week of gun season even though it only follows the road along my property.

I believe this is three years in a row they have been down there gun season on that pad.

I talked to them on the phone yesterday about a leasing matter and he told me the wells are set to go into production in April of next year. We talked a little about market conditions hopefully pushing that back until prices recover. He told me that I was alone in that desire, giving me the impression that they were being asked frequently about a timeline for royalties to start coming in.

It would seem that at least one stage of the fracking process is complete, or maybe the entire stage, because the noise from the pumps and the constant hauling of sand in and out have been gone for a few days now at the McClain pad.

Let's hope, the noise from the pumps rattled my bedroom floor and the dust is on everything.

Seems to be more activity now that the holidays are over,and it's froze up!. PDC is spudding a well on Salem Rd. just south of Putney Ridge rd. There looks to be a pipeline co. moving back in the old Modern Builders Supply building on Woodlawn ave. The Great Plains dropyard on 40,just west of Old Washington is overflowing with trucks&equipment. The drillpipe supplier on North Ave,by the County Engineers office, has grown twofold since they moved there other supply yard  from Wooster to the Cambridge site.
