There is no question as to the quality - it is excellent - pipeline ready at 1031 BTU.
Dimock wells require no additional equipment such as would be necessary to remove CO2.

Thanks Hunter. What we heard was further east toward Wayne County and something down in Lackawanna. I agree with you on the Dimock wells. If it is no too much CO2 it is fairly easy to remove, but a lot could be troublesome.

Just so everyone is aware, the new Geological estimates for hte Marcellus formation alone are 1,300 Trillion CF , 4 times more that previous estimates...

The theory about Wayne co. includes the shale being overcooked or to thermally mature to produce optimal gas. Certain areas are seeing very hot activity, Auburn Twp., Dimock Twp, Tuscarora Twp proceding west, other areas are being test drilled to find sweet spots and test the shale for maturity and pressure. As stated NEPA gas is line ready cooked to perfection, but not all areas are the same, there is still alot of exploration going on. Hope this helps, pms welcome.

Thanks Doug, I have seen gas fields where the "edge" is quite sharp, within a few hundred feet the high volume and quality gas ends. For a company to pay high acreage prices in those areas is quite risky and it seems that Wayne and east may fall into that category. The million $$ question is where is the "line"? Seems like Exco in Susq and Lackawanna counties is trying to figure such out. Eventually the story will emerge when a company spends millions and comes up dry. The cost of those wells and acreage has to be covered by the successful wells. A very risky business.
