Utica Production Potential Map

Interesting map I found on the Canton paper site. Sure seem to put eastern Belmont county in a diffrent light.

Personally, I couldn't have drawn the map any better.

Consol had billboards on 23 just north of Marion for leasing within the last 6 months.

What criteria is the map based on ?
Leases that exist ?
Planned drill units to date ?
What ?
How about a link to the article ?

I have no idea what the map is based on. But i can assure you is has nothing to do with drilling units, or lease that exist. The map was not part of an article that i could find.here's the original link.

Thanks BrianH.

Went to the Canton Repository page and found they have quite a few articles.

Regarding the map, I'm thinking it may have been generated a bit earlier on in the development and probably based on test bores / core samples and wells that were already existing.  Problem with using only that kind of data is that some areas are even now seriously lacking in existing test bores / core samples and deep wells.

Based on that, I'm taking that map with a good number of 'grains of salt' myself.

But, thanks again anyway.

Good luck to all of us - we need it.

A few years back I ran across a Utica map from the 1930's.  It was not very different from current maps.  Sometimes I wonder if all the new siesmic technology in addition to isolating depth is mainly used to find large naturally occuring fractures to help drain far outside unit boundries.
