Where ?

Southeast Ohio, Southwest Pennsylvania, Northwest West Virginia ?

They have a large position in Northeast Ohio for sale or joint venture the last I heard / read.  Is that still true ?  Or have they decided to develop it since ?

Tons of existing Clinton wells in Northeast Ohio.

Been reading about new technology for existing Clinton wells that recovers more of the oil that remains there.  Any truth to that ?

Would like more details.

Can you provide ?

There seems to be at least 3 Enervest rigs drilling in Niminshellen Twp in Stark County Ohio.  This is between the Canton and Alliance area.

Enervest(pvt partnerships ) & EV energy partners (public ) hve between them about 800K acres, almost all HBP, 8000clinton vert/ & a number of Knox wells (?)---the properties 4 sale were always zone specific--utica,pt pleasant, marcellus---a sale to AEP was zone & I believe the acreage commited to CHK & TOTAL JV was also zone specific---they to my knowledge have retained all rights to clinton & other zones, other than utica----Now, this is starting to get interesting !!!--u do not hve 3 rigs running unless the previous few horz/clinton test wells drilled showed  BIG---I hve heard the Key to Success here is the use of a new submersible pump that is in the lateral portion of the well---these should not be expensive wells, 600k to 700K, lite clean out frac ( sand,acid, water ), maybe no frac ?---2000" to 3000" kick-out---we can be on the CUSP of a NEW ERA---hope so 4 everyone------

Richard,  I believe the pump you are talking about is called a F.L.E.X. PUMP, and yes it is electric submersible. This pump is rather new to the industry and  manufactured by BAKER HUGHS. From what I have read , O/G  companies are having good success with these pumps in the North Dakota and Texas also. Does any one think these pumps could be used in a Utica well ?
