Concerning pipelines in northern Sullivan County, I was contacted within the past week by Chesapeake gas line employees for permission to access my Elkland Township property. I was told that Chief has contracted with them to expand Chesapeake transport lines from the Overton area to Sullivan County so that Chief can drill some wells on properties whose leases are set to expire in as soon as three years. I have the Chesapeake names and phone numbers. The plan is to run a line north and south, towards Estella, and to run a second transport west towards Camp Brule and the adjacent State Game Lands. I was informed that Chesapeake transport line engineers were to meet yesterday (Thursday) to walk a specific sullivan county farm to finalyze the route oth the north/south line through that farm. This is all just west of the Lick Creek area, just south of the Bradford/Sullivan County border. The Chesapeake employee did not know when line installation would begin. He stated it could be this summer or this winter, but he didn't know anything other than that one specific, large farm was having the route finalyzed on Thursday. Hope this is informative.

Mr. Silla from the SCETF

Can you share anything about the new pipeline? I understand a presentation was going to be made to the County Commissioners about it.

Has anyone heard about the new gas pipeline that is being planned to run along the top of the county from about one end to the other? Some landowners were contacted about it a week and a half ago.

Any truth to the rumor that Chesapeake is buying up all the Chief leases in Sullivan County?????

Good New!
Received a check from Chesapeake for the full amount of our "Bonus Money" yesterday. At signing the landsman said the check would be issued in 120 days or less. It was delivered in 118 days.

Something happened several years ago in Texas when stored gas escaped through underground cracks caused by small shifts in the earth. The gas accumulated under a town and was ignighted. I believe half of the town was destroyed. I don't remember all of the details but I saw this story on TV about a year ago.

Wonder if there are any geologists out there who know if horizontal "wells" could possibly be used as transport-lines for natural gas, thus saving the installation of actual "main-lines" or "gathering-lines"? The comment by Duane H below got me thinking...Why would a Marcellus well have one hole going "straight down" and two going horizonal, north and south...? The idea of moving gas along underground, safe from freezing, leaks, and other things would seem to make this feasible to me, but again, I am not a geologist...any thoughts on this from the group members?

That rig is going to put down 3 wells. One going straight down. One going towards glen wmawh and the other going in the direction of picture rocks. Rumor has it.
