Try this link - I know there are various links to and on the DEP page, but this one has an Excel Spreadsheet about halfway down the page for "Permits issued by operator with Location Information" http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/oilgas/RIG11.htm.  I think that might have what you are looking for on it.

Thank you.  That got me the name, but still not sure where it is.  I will keep searching.  That is a very good site.

If you found the pad name on that list, the latitude and longitude cordinates are to the left on the spread sheet.

cut and paste them to Google Earth it will show you exactly where it is located.

I didn't find the pad name on the list.  I thought I did, but turns out that one is about 10 miles from us.  The latitude and longitude worked great.  I will keep searching.  Thanks again for all of your help

I stopped at the Chesapeake office on Saturday and a nice gentleman there showed me where the wells were going to be drilled.  There are no permits issued so that is why they weren't on the DEP website.  I will keep watching.  Thanks for all the great info.

I live about 2 1/2 hours from our property so I understand not keeping up .  The wells are proposed for Cherry Township off of Black Creek road.  There are two proposed at this time.  The Chesapeake office was located in Towanda just off of Route 6.  I believe that is in Bradford county.  The office was not open on Saturday, I lucked out that someone was there meeting with land owners.  This site is great.  I wish I would've found it months ago.  Good place to find out what is going on.

This is a mapping site that you can use to see a well permit location.  It works best using internet explorer.

got to efacts query and select primary facility name and type first part of well name and click locate.

We just got a notice that there was a letter for us from SAIC with postage due, I blew it off. I guess I'll be retrieving it now, but my question is that if they're wanting to test our water, does that mean drilling is planned? Our small plot is a driver and a wedge from Black Creek road where a recent poster said there are 2 wells planned

Bill,

I was told by the rep at Chesapeake the reason we received the water testing notice was because they planned to drill within 4000 feet of our property.  2 wells, but no permits yet so you won't find them on the DEP website yet.  We are on Black Creek road also.  Near the Alpaca farm if you are familiar with where that is.

Here are some links to maps of drill pad sites in the county. This one should be the most current:

You might find some information on the DEP site too;

The water test reports I have seen (three) done by Chessapeake representatives are quite comprehensive and would show, with followup tests the presence of contamination in the future. Other than identifying current present contaminants (prior to gas company operations) these tests will provide a good baseline. If they want to test your water, something is in the works, perhaps within 4,000 feet or so of your property, in the coming months.

 

The water test I had done by an independent New York company turned out to be a 400 dollar "hard water test".

This very unofficial "evaluation" was courtesy of my (soon to be PHD) chemistry professor son at UNC Greensboro.

 

The pad names I have seen recently on maps often carry the property owner's name. Don't know about the numbers. Maps are hard to come by. If we're lucky we might get a glimpse - and then usually only if you are in or close to a unit.

 

Best advice is keep talking to your neighbors. They are your best friends in this enterprise.

Bob
