Chesapeake released some quite interesting news during their first quarter 2012 conference call.  Apparently they discovered, entirely by accident, another factor impacting production numbers on their OH Utica completions.  When the Buell Well was drilled in Harrison County, a minor problem prohibited them from immediately completing it.  The unintended resting period allowed much of the water and frack fluid to dissipate prior to completion.  Their Carroll County wells, drilled…

The Point Pleasant formation has been described as marking the end of Middle Ordovician time.  The Ordovician Period is characterized as the greatest submergence of the North American plate because shallow seas covered such an extensive area, including all of Ohio.  In this environment, the Acadian mountain-building event occurred whereby sediments high in kerogen were shed from the highlands into a somewhat enclosed basin,…

Ever since billionaire Carl Icahn bought in last year, speculation has been that he would eventually force a sell-off of Chesapeake.  He has already forced a number of divestitures including the recent sell of their pipeline, processing and mid-stream divisions.  He is almost single-handedly credited with forcing the reluctant resignation of Aubrey McClendon and has a track record of controlling the company's leadership and…

Admittedly the Utica has come with great hype and promise. Upon the release of Ohio’s 2012 production figures, many pundits were disappointed.  Seems many are convinced that it has not lived up to its billing.  They apparently had hopes for a huge oil bonanza here and were quite disappointed at the purported oil/gas ratios.  But is there really enough data to definitively form opinions, and is the data being interpreted correctly?  Let the debate…

The money could be…

As a mineral rights owner/lessor, do you know how much vent gas is flowing out the wellhead flare stack that relates to production?  We have a cost effective reliable solution for monitoring and reporting the vent flare gas that involves wireless technology with a solar powered system for remote well head sites.  If you have interest in learning more about this solution, contact me at jerry@thermalinstrument.com  

Does anyone have current information on how drillers/pipeline companies are compensating landowners, as in amount per foot or rod, and whether it's ongoing or a one time payment? I'll soon be looking over a lease offer that's being drafted now and I'm looking for something to compare to. If it's a one time payment (and I've read some $ amounts like $15 linear foot, but the posting was old) but the pipeline owner has an indefinite easement and access that portion of your property, that…
