Hawke Inc out of Barberton is advertising this property and another in Guernsey on uticashaleinvesting.com. They have taken a core sample in both properties but they have not drilled on this property and to my knowledge are not drilling horizontal wells. Most of the traditional drilllers in Ohio do not have and cannot afford the equipment for lateral drilling. They hire this out to Patterson, Nomac etc but must compete with the big boys for rigs and time. We own a farm one township south of Bedford and are long time friends with the McCurdy's ... the landowners the "unit" is named after. Also the gas line that Hawke discusses on uticashaleinvesting.com is a traditional dry gas line with gas for domestic use ... the McCurdy's have had dry gas for their home from wells for 50 years. I highly doubt this line could be used for anything coming from the Utica. My point is Hawke is NOT experienced in Utica Shale drilling.

Permalink Reply by Dexter Green on September 27, 2014 at 3:03pm Well Hawke seems like a front that's being used as the operator of this misadventure. US Petroleum Exploration has some names I recognize, though read the bios and you'll see that they're mostly finance guys. The actual industry people are all legit. Sort of. The one guy has worked for Chevron and Rex, which is sufficiently impressive, but he also worked for Zion Oil. If you don't know who that is then look them up. They are drilling for oil in Israel based on great geological data the Bible. But you can see the company is geared toward finance and private equity, which means they're out there raising money--my bet is under a Reg D filing--to fund the drilling program.

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 ] |
