Have'nt ever read anything about WHY they drill directly North/South,but they had good success at the Steirs wells going north and the Dynamite wells going south. I figure it has a lot to do with their leaseholds.  The land on both sides of those locations is leased by others, so maybe they don't like sharing. Have'nt seen any Utica wells drilled east or west yet,.so maybe that's a no-no, but N/S may be okay.

Thank you! just seems to me would be hard to drill all the acreage when you have N/S and NW/SE units

I've always been told it has to do with the way the formation of the Utica shale is. Easier to frack and break apart in that direction they say. Makes sense

thank you Evan. I was wondering how they would stack the units to develop all the acreage when you have a unit right in the middle running directly north? seems like maybe a landowner wouldn't get all his acreage developed with this scenario. be nice to hear from a geologist on this

They are spudding the 3H well. the 1H & 3H are listed as "permitted". but they still may drill all 3 at this time,or they may just do the 30" top casing and take off, wanting to just hold the property for future use without re-leasing. who Knows? the rig on the pad now is just a small, top-hole rig. Hopefully ,the BIG rig is coming soon!

The rig on the Neff pad is now gone, hopefully we will see the Big Rig coming in soon!

Did they sell out completely?,or just sold some of their leases?  That's a really bold statement to make on this site without some kind of verification. Be prepared to get bombarded with many questions!
