How many frac stages do you think it'll take for a 3.25 mile long lateral?

Wow!
I wonder what is to stop gascos from drilling 3 mi. Laterals and claiming they are only 1 mile long?
Is there any way of verifying lengths after being put into production? I know my metal detector won't reach down that far!

Surveys generated by a reputable company must be submitted to the state the well is located in. They then compare what was permitted to what was drilled.

That has been a concern for many, even in the days of the 1 mile laterals.

It seems to me that, as the well count gets denser, any 'liberties' taken could be risking collision with other wells.

Talk about being caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

I believe they have to run those laterals out that far so they can get the oil&gas from under the lake. They must have that area all leased, but only can get their pads a certain distance from the Muskingum Watershed properties. Have to build the pads on private property?

Could you provide the information as you described?  it sounds like the wells will be 23500 MD.  which would be a long lateral, but probably more like 13,000 feet.

It will be interesting to see if they use knowledge gained from these long laterals and apply it to their Memorial Park rig planned for Barnesville this fall.  13,000 feet would allow them to go clear through the town and reach their reservoir properties southeast of town with one pad.

It will be interesting to see what kind of production these wells will do. It gets them under the lake and under a lot more properties by utilizing one pad. May also be an experiment. Noble co. ohio, wayne twp. Turkey unit. ODNR oil&gas database.

If you pull down the actual permit plat from odnr, the actual horizontal portion of the well is 13,000'. The reason is the target is about 10k' straight down but you have to build a gradual curve as you are drilling so when you are finished you can get steel casing into the ground all the way to bottom. Just fyi....
