I'm not on here much any more, but thought this was important. I was at a Wayne Twp. trustee meeting Monday when it was brought up that the ODNR had sent a letter to the township that Enervest had applied for a drilling permit (and was granted it) in Wayne Twp. (on Creek Rd. near the Wayne Twp./Cherry Valley Twp. line). The letter also stated that 4 more permits from Enervest were pending. The remaining permits are to be about 1 mile apart in almost directly a west to east direction. All are to be in the area of the Wayne Twp./Cherry Valley township borders. Unit size for the well already permitted is 40 acres, to a depth of 7000 feet, and the target area is to be the Queenston through the Trempealeau formations.
That was all the information I could get from the letter at the meeting...anyone know any more about this?

We don't know anything about these specific well permit applications / wells beyond what you've written perhaps other than that we've read other posts (and have been advised elsewhere) that EnerVest is supposed to be targeting and developing exploratory wells aimed at the Rose Run and other intervals below the Utica. That was what their seismic tests were all about as we have it. Maybe these are 'core sample' wells ?
I've also read in other posts where horizontal fracturing of the strata below the Utica is being more closely looked at /studied. Wondering if these new permit applications are part of the study; and experimental / exploratory.
Like you I'm not writing much these days; as for us in particular, the 1st 'task at hand' is re-negotiating / extinguishing our old lease. We'll be beyond that hurdle near the end of September.
Wonder how that EALA meeting at the Pymatuning Valley Campus went last night ? Did you get there Ed ? If so were these well permit applications discussed ? We couldn't attend last night's meeting - our schedule wouldn't permit - plus there's the above referenced 'task at hand' impacting our thinking / activity.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
