Today's New Castle News says that Hilcorp has been given approval for 11 new pads in western Lawrence Co Thats pads.....doesn't say how many wells are planned. Great news for our county!
Sorry but its not on their website yet so no link to story. Had all pad locations listed so stay tuned, will post link if and when they add it to website.

One clarification, they were submitted for review but not approved by the county as it up to the townships to approve or deny.
One interesting thing of note is that all 11 pads are from 3.5 to 4 acres in size. That is pretty small to handle all that equipment and people and reduces the environmental impact substantially. . Good job Hilcorp!
Holy Crap!
The Northern Utica is about to blast off.

Hilcorp gets a mere 6 permits to drill in Mercer County and that discussion stays near the top of the board for days.........Mercer County folks are excited , and rightly so!
Hilcorp applies for 11 PADS in Lawrence County and here we are at page 4 or 5.............
Where is your enthusiasm LAWRENCE COUNTY....?????
This is HUGE NEWS for us!
11 pads can support alot of wells and the fact that Hilcorp sees such potential in our county SHOULD be cause to rejoice.
Check out Todd's discussion on the Beaver County site titled "Rhinestreet Shale". That should also help to get you a little excited about our prospects. Add the Marcellus , Utica , and depths below that (Loysburg , Trenton Black River.......)
Things are definitely looking up here.
I like the fact that Shell has a large leasehold presence in our area as well. In light of the Cracker plans , that speaks volumes!

Permalink Reply by Trapper on December 14, 2013 at 10:46am Hello Rich! Is there currently any activity at the Patterson well? Been hearing they plan to drill a new well or two. I live 3 or 4 miles east of there but haven't been by the site for awhile. As far as maps of projected sites , Shell keeps their lips sealed pretty tight. All we can do is wait and see what they do next. Are you leased to Shell or Hilcorp?

For what its worth,Yesterday I noticed a lot of equipment that looked like trenching (pipeline) equipment being stored across from the tag office on SR 422 & SR 388 next to the Sheetz station.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
