RATS.... they didn't lite it off last nite......

Still pulling brine out SLOWLY....

For those that drove out along 313 last nite.. at least the "stars" were out...:)

They did fire it off for about 10 minutes yesterday am....

I will go up on "observation hill" with my binoculars and see if they are checking the "separators"....

Going to take a LOOOONG time to pull all this frac waste out.... millions of gallons of it....

One of the line workers a few weeks ago said there was HIGH PRESSURE on these laterals...

Maybe that's why they are taking their time opening it up....?

big mountain of dirt between me and the pad... so hopefully all goes well...

I would think this is a fairly dangerous time....till they get the pressure under control...

Every driller in Ohio is watching NCD3....

it is EQT'S chance to "show off"  hopefully what they can do..

MONEY WAS NOT SPARED IN THIS OPERATION...

Their Credibility is on the line...

It wont be a Monster like the East of 77 wells... but it "CAN" be a big producer...

Brine trucks going out with a load a half hour ago...

Thanks for the updates. This is the most intriguing well for me and my family as we have interest in over 100 acres along this western side of Guernsey. We are hoping for very good results !!!

Personally I think that this western side will be drilled in the future..

Commen sense tells me there is no LAND LEFT East of 77

Anyone wanting to drill for OIL...and some GAS.....WILL come West...

Any Horizontals drilled with 100 foot spacing are going to put out enough

OIL to make it worthwhile...

I would think this NCD3 will be put on line in about 10-14 days...

There is a LOT of frac liquid to take out...and Brine trucks are running fairly

slow...

There are two flare pipes.. a small one and a big one...small one gave off

minor flaring all nite.. nothing big and strong...

I think that they are getting OIL right now .....even tho the Frac liquid is in there...

Water goes to the BOTTOM of OIL... OIL comes to the TOP of water...

and these laterals have been 'resting" for WEEKS...!!

so if they just "crack" the valve.. ever so slightly... there is OIL right there...

If the hole is opened TOO QUICK.....water will mix with OIL greatly....

and less oil pulled out in the beginning...

That's my guess why the system over here is moving slowly....

Once the frac liquid is pulled out.. THEN.. they will open the hole to a certain

CHOKE setting...

 The flaring that is going on now..

is just burning off what gas is MIXED in with the water and oil as it comes out...

Just a guess on all this as im dumber then a door nail...:)
