According to the well log for Gulfport's Shugert 1-H1 the Utica has a thickness of 1011 feet.  Is this correct or mistake in logging?  Could this explain the production value of this well?   I didnt think the Utica exceeded 300 feet in thickness in Ohio.  I guess it is possible that a Middle Ordovician deposition occurred in a pre-Ordovician valley.   Apparently there is some good value to seismic studies.

Is this new info, or has it been out? I have not heard this before. can any of the experts shed any light on this?

The report page shows they hit the Utica at 8594' and then the Point Pleasant at 8883 ft.  There is no bottom to the PP listed, which is too bad, because that's usually what they are after....

(Your link would not work for me, so I went to the report page).

All in all, it sounds pretty ordinary unless the PP is really thick.

I had problems with the link also, but if you go to the Well Summary Card for the Shugert 1-12H well:

http://www2.dnr.state.oh.us/Website/DOG/WellSummaryCard.asp?api=340...

It has the Utica Shale formation starting at 8640 and bottom at 9651.  1011 ft.

I tried to check a couple of the other Gulport wells.  Not very many have numbers for the formations, and of those, they don't report all of them (and I was only looking for the Utica).

Here are the ones that I found:

Ryser 1-25H, Top 7932, Bottom 8328.  396 ft.

Wagner 1H, Top 8350, Bottom 8451. 101 ft.

Boy Scout 1 (didn't record for individual Horizontals?) Top 7724, Bottom 7852.  128 ft.

BK Stephens 1-16H, Top 7982, Bottom 8182. 200 ft.

I am no expert so I have no analysis to add.  I guess we wait for someone who can provide some insight.

The Shugert Utica depths are MD (measure depth), meaning the depth measured along the curve that was built for the horizontal (there was no pilot hole in this well). This makes the Utica look a lot thicker than in TVD (true vertical depth). The lack of a pilot hole is also why they don't have a PP bottom (since they never drilled out of it).

As "The Hiker" says, nothing special in regards to formation thickness in this well.
