None at this time, still 2 permits in Short Creek. The well on Branson Ridge was plugged and reissued a new permit. according to the well card, they had some issues with casing. They indicated that they would return to drill in mid 2015. I think we are in for a little wait here. Seems that we are on the dryer side of things, but that has not been proven yet. Plus mostly Hess controlled and they are not running many rigs.

Im up in the town of Harrisville all is quiet. We are mostly all leased with chk in this area. Leases due to expire in 14 months or so. I have contacted them couple times they say nothing planned for area as of now. Lots of offers to sell minerals.. Hess doing good bit of activity all around us within 15 miles in last year though.. Time will tell..

The Harrison County section of Go Marcellus has been very quiet!  Did you Short Creek folks see that the ODNR posted new permits for Short Creek?  Given natural gas prices now, and the fact that this area is likely in the dry play, would you expect they intend to drill and cap until prices come up a bit?

American Energy, I am fairly sure that it was permitted as a Hess well previously.

Just got a letter yesterday from Gulfport. Appears CHK has transferred my lease. Seems to make sense since Gulfport has 400+ acres leased next door to mine. Has anybody else received any lease transfers?
