Utica well rumored to produce 15 million cubic ft a day

There is an article out today that mentions what I believe to be about buell well in harrison county.

 

"Take the example of what may be the most productive well in Ohio history. State Sen. Jimmy Stewart, R-Albany, said he heard a rural Harrison County well was pumping 15 million cubic feet of gas daily.

A spokeswoman for Chesapeake Energy, the Oklahoma-based owner, said the well in question is still being evaluated, and he couldn't confirm the numbers."

The Buell well has a 7005' lateral - still nearly a mile and a half.

Where do you find these plat maps?

These maps are part of the permit application paperwork that ODNR has available online for each well.

ODNR has all sorts of great info available to anyone with an internet connection.

Start with this page:

http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/mineral/oil/tabid/10371/default.aspx

On it you will see an Oil and Gas Well Locator link and an Oil and Gas Well Search link.

The Locator gets you to a map where you can drill down to an individual well and find the permit number. Make note of that 5-digit number, the county, and the township.

Go to the Search page and

Click to Search OIL AND GAS WELL DATABASE 

On the page that comes up, click on Reports. Next click on Completions. On the page that comes up, look at the column under Reset. On the line where it says County, click on the little blue down arrow at the right side of the white box under Reset. In the drop down box that opens, click on =Equal. Click in the next white box to the right and select the county name. repeat this process for the Township and again for the Permit Number. Next click on the white box that says Report. You should pull up the permit info for the well you found on the map. At the bottom of what comes up for that well will be Link to Well Image(s). Under this will be a .TIF file which contains the info I posted earlier. The .TIF file will open with your picture viewing software. I usually save this file as a .pdf if I want to refer back to it later as the .pdf format is easier to read.

You can also access more info on the Reports page so play around with it some.

Have been looking at this.  It seems that the site is frequently down.  Have gotten lots of error messages.  Anybody else able to get info from the database?

Yes, I have had the same problem.  It is probably getting more hits than the server was designed for.  It does work, just keep trying.

It appears the Buell well is in a 177.4 acre drilling unit. This makes the landowner royalty per acre much higher. To accurately calculate the landowner royalty, we would need to know the capacity of the gas pipeline taking gas away from the well, how many acres they have in the drilling unit, and also what % their lease stipulates but it should still be huge considering the relatively small acreage in the unit.

Finnbear, I believe that you must also take into consideration that production for any well is dependent upon what volume the infrastructure can handle. Just because the well can produce up to say 15 million cu ft per day doesn't mean that is what will be sold each day. Maybe the transmission pipeline can only accept 4 million cu ft per day or less/more.  Just a thought.

Your math sounds good, but you have the wrong gas price @$4 and you forgot the 1000 BOPD of oil!  How can you say what a landowner is going to receive without looking at the lease, marketing cost???

Looking at their plat map of the well with a single bore it covers 177 acres

Has anyone calculated how much per acre royalty a month if its OIL!!!  Lets just say they get 1000 barrels per day.  How much would that come out to in a 640 acre unit at $112.00 a barrel.  Lets put the nat gas on hold right now CHK did not move over here to flood the market with nat gas.  That is already happing in PA, if these companies actually told the market how much gas they have it wouldn't be worth anything.  We need crude now and thats what they are after I believe.  As much as I would like us to lean more on nat gas we are still a long ways off.
