It looks like Hess is doing a seismic survey of a 400 square mile area.  This might be part of it.  I am guessing that each company does their own survey and keeps the results secret.

Perhaps the Poterfield Units? Those were Marquette wells originally intended to be drilled into the Marcellus. Hess now owns them.

I believe this is the Hess well just east of Bloomingdale in Jefferson County, flared for a month during the Holidays, but I am very surprised it was characterized as dry gas.

Hess has offered us a lease.  Said they already had the farm next to us.  Belmont County, Pease Township

They bought out Marquette so it's likely that they have the farm next to you.  What kind of terms are they offering?
