I saw this too, it is literally in my backyard. I have been unsucessfully trying to get any information out of Chesapeake as to what it all means and when it wil be producing. It was buring thursday afternoon at 5 pm when I saw it.

If the rig is just back to do the horizontal drilling, fracking will take take place after; either via frac tanks, (usually 50-125 onsite) or ponds to hold the water.

Drilling rig that did the horizontal part has been gone for 3 or 4 weeks.  The frack tanks started to appear after it left.  Saw the site Sunday, the flare was still burning and a brine truck was there loading out of some equipment several hundred feet from the frack tanks.

If the frac tanks are onsite now they could theoretically still be waiting to frac. If the Frac tanks were onsite immediately and have been there since the rig left in the large qty. then fracking could be completed and they are now catching the flow back (sometimes up to 4 weeks for the bulk of the flow). I will drive by it later this afternoon to check it out. I live off Ellsworth so it is right around the corner. The last I had checked on it they were only drilling for core to check viability, thats a good sign horizontal means they definitely liked what they saw.

Stopped at the well site today and talked with the company man. It appears they have drilled more horizontal shafts and are preparing to frac., at least 50 tanks on site @ 500BBl each thats a tick over 1mg.  It sounds from other chesapeake men Ive spoken with and from the info on this site as well they were  surprised at how much wet gas is in the trenton/utica shales. When I asked what the white collars at chesapeake said he just smiled and said he couldn't tell me other than we hadnt seen anything yet. If you take a ride over to williamsport Pa area they are drilling like crazy. .. hopscotching rigs all over each other ... I saw 6 in 7 miles. This is no doubt just the start we have 10 good years of this work ahead
