WTF DNR?

does anyone have an update on the DNR's lack of posting production reports?

better yet, anyone reading this from the DNR - please tell the good people of Ohio (your bosses) why the delay - and when you expect to produce some production reports.

maybe it's not a big deal, maybe the oil companies were late, maybe they are under staffed, maybe the info isn't worth much to anyone.......but maybe the DNR could at least fill us in with a public statement.

I am confused by all of this....

If you know the API well number, simply go to the ODNR well database found at http://oilandgas.ohiodnr.gov/well-information/oil-gas-well-database and pull up the completion report for the particular well of interest.

Annual production is updated on this completion report each year.  There are plenty of completion reports showing 2012 well production data that were updated during the first week of April.

The 'Shaw" well in Carroll County was one of the first horizontial wells drilled by CHK and it has not been updated with 2012 production numbers.  Like I said in an earlier post on another discussion, a well that I follow did have 2012 production numbers posted back in mid April and then a week later those numbers were removed.

It will be out tomorrow at 2pm per ODNR.

Live webcast at www2.ohiodnr.gov

You can also attend at the Vern Riffe Center in Columbus.

Markus:  That works for older shallow wells that I have searched, but this data is missing for the newer point pleasant wells (at least for the 2012 wells I am interested in).   Or, are you refering to the pdf images attached at the bottom of the completions report page? If the information you refer to is buried within these (I doubt it), it would be a very slow task indeed due to the cumbersome (I'm being kind) software they use.

Markus/Hiker,

 

I have been looking at completion reports (newer point pleasant/utica) this morning and have yet to find one with 2012 production shown. I will keep looking.

Hiker - the production is shown on the actual report page.... vs the attachments. I saw 2011 production info for a couple of the early wells.

Yeah - WTF DNR - on Booger's points and on many other fronts (landowner affronts actually).

 Memory lag here, but I think I recall seeing some where, where it was stated that well production was now considered as proprietary information by the ODNR and would not be published. Does anyone else recall seeing this?

i have not heard that.......on another note, i have been looking at many completion reports and still have not found a single one with 2012 production data........i'm not looking any more.....i'll wait to see if DNR responds to the Request for Info.

Here is a link that says the report SHOULD be out next week.

Read the entire article, its just not about when the figures come out; 

Mr. Hill and Mr. Stewart make comments regarding how often in the future the drillers want them reported, that now most of the leasing is done the numbers can come out, and Kasich wants a BTU tax which the drillers do not.

Landowners wouldn't we love to see the btu numbers?

Thanks for the link WLW.

Result - we have both O & G developers and our legislators together to thank for holding up the show.
What a piece of work.
Just beautiful.

Thinking it's more of a pseudo-argument to justify 'the big stall'.

Another poster wrote that the whole Utica Point Pleasant phenom. is being slow-played.

I agree with that writer.

I ask why and come up with buying maneuvering time so as to better rip off everyone (especially the landowners).

Feeling powerless as a landowner here.

We as landowners don't even have any lobbyists / supporters to turn to - to present our grievances and argue them on our behalf.

Pretty sick.

Just my interpretations / opinions expressed here.

P.S.: Booger, I think you are a patient man and I think I am too.
