News from PA Energy Games

Shell The news from the PA Energy Games was the announcements from Shell last week about it Gee and Neal wells in Tioga County, PA. With the increased activity from Shell in the form of RFP’s, many people wondering how many rigs Shell will be bringing into PA. I heard a rumor that it will be bringing five (5) rigs next month. We’ll have to wait and see on that rumor. There is also considerable excitement about Shell with its purchase of the Ultra leases. Shell representatives have told local businesses that the Ultra purchase strongly positions for significant growth in the Marcellus Shale. Rex The purchase of Shell leases is seeing a pick up activity at Rex also. We’ll be looking to see in Rex brings more rigs into PA.

Shell hits two big wells in the Utica in PA

Shell announced it made natural gas discoveries at two wells in the Utica shale reserve area in Pennsylvania. Last year, we refocused our resources plays strategy to select fewer plays with specific scale and economic characteristics to best suit our portfolio, Marvin Odum, Shell s upstream America director, said in a statement. The Appalachian basin is one of those areas, and these two high-pressure wells both exhibit exceptional reservoir quality. Shell said it made the discoveries in its Neal and Gee wells in the Utica shale. The company said the discoveries extend the sweet spot of Utica shale beyond southeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania into an area where it holds 430,000 acres. Gee had an initial flow rate of 11.2 million cubic feet of gas per day and Neal has already yielded 26.5 million cubic feet of gas per day, the company said. In August, the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the Energy Department, said total production from Utica shale should incr

Women in Energy Reception

Energy Nation, affiliated with the American Petroleum Institute, will offer free Women in Energy reception following the day s programming at Utica Summit II, Oct. 14 at Kent State University at Stark. API invites the Utica Summit II audience members and others to meet and learn more about Energy Nation and the workforce opportunities for women in the oil and natural gas industry. The Energy Nation reception is free. The Utica Summit II program should end around 3 p.m. that day. Utica Summit II, a daylong conversation with national speakers on the subject of chemical, plastics manufacturing, and transportation benefits of Utica Shale energy, is the second annual downstream conference produced by The Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, The Repository and Shaledirectories.com. Downstream refers to the end-user economy in oil and gas exploration. Tickets for the event are $250 and are available at www.uticasummit.com.

Drilling coming back to Stark County, OH

EnerVest Ltd., based in Houston, has drilled several miniaturized horizontal wells, mostly around Louisville and Alliance in northeast Stark County, to test the potential profitability of the sandstone. Another company has done the same in Coshocton County, southwest of Canton. For about a century, Clinton sandstone has been an oil and gas producer, but the wells have always been straight vertical holes into the formation that is 3,000 to 4,600 feet below the surface. EnerVest is looking for areas of Clinton that have not been over-tapped with vertical wells. The company is experimenting with the new horizontal drilling technology that allows the driller to go to a specified depth, turn 90 degrees, drill horizontally, fracture the underground rock with high-pressure water, sand and chemicals and break loose the trapped oil and gas.

North America’s Only Dedicated Condensate Event Returns To Houston This October

With production volumes continuing to surge and demand soaring both at home and abroad, the rapidly developing condensate marketplace is fast becoming one of North America’s most exciting energy supply chains. The unprecedented permitting of condensate exports, increasing demand for oil sands diluent, increased splitter capacity and expanding midstream supply infrastructure all contribute to the business case for increased investment, but stakeholders must investigate a wide variety of factors to maximize profitability and minimize risk. Production volumes and qualities, the quantifiable size and destination of specific condensate markets, existing midstream infrastructure, the cost effectiveness of different transportation methods, stabilization methods, blending strategies, safety requirements and more all critical factors that must be evaluated to optimize economics and maximize efficiencies across the entire supply chain. Following on from the enormous success of last yea
