The Utica is tracked here, and at the sidebar at the right.
There are multiple story lines in the post below. A huge thanks to the reader who sent me the initial link.
With minimal editing, a very credible, reliable reader provided me this earlier today:
I just spent a semi-frenzied couple of hours trying to learn what I can about EOG's Rose well in Carroll County, Ohio.
It produced ~700 bbld first 14 days online (10,275 bbls), along with 3 million cfd of natgas.Reports are rocketing around the net that EOG has been determinedly leasing up acreage in that area (fringe of Utica oil window, Carroll/Stark counties).In addition, EOG is building a short takeaway pipeline for the product.Biggest data point (to me) is that this oil-drenched, shallow (7,000 foot) formation is now economical to be developed due to EOG's use of High Pressure, Single Point gas lift.This last is unconfirmed, but - if true - could have ENORMOUS implications for 'shale' oil production everywhere.I am reluctant to 'get ahead of my headlights, but the concept of using high pressure gas lift to extract 'shallow/under pressured' oil could - IF effective - have huge impacts throughout the energy world.
Okay, so let's see what's out there:
From the December 4, 2021, story:
EOG Resources is the premier shale drilling company in the country which has led to its strong financial success.
I have thought for months that EOG was drilling in Carroll County, Ohio.
In November permitting reports, EOG has received a permit to drill in Rose Township in Carroll County. The presence of EOG in the Utica is a bullish sign for drilling in the Utica for years to come.
At least one of the linked articles also confirms that EOG is putting in a takeaway pipeline for the Rose well production.
With regard to high pressure gas lift, the first link below is to Schlumberger:
With respect to Carroll County, Ohio:
