Rex Energy drills first Utica Shale well in W. Pa. | Press & Sun-Bulletin | pressconnects.com.
Comment from Chip Northrup, retired oil/gas professional:
Sounds like a good well – but sometimes they report the spikes – not a 3+ day average.
The Utica is productive in Ohio – as wet gas (propane) oily shale =- high carbon content
It may be high carbon content in Western Pa. = the way the Marcellus is
In NY, both the Marcellus and Utica are more likely drier gas – less valuable methane.
And probably less productive as you go north of I 88 and N west of the Susquehanna
Utica test wells in NY (Otsego Co) have not shown much potential.
