Rex Energy Provides Third Quarter Update

By -
From a Rex Energy press release:
Appalachian Basin - Warrior North Prospect 
In the Warrior North Prospect, the company recently placed into sales the six-well Grunder pad. The six wells were drilled with an average lateral length of approximately 4,800 feet and completed with an average of 24 completion stages. In addition, the company tested approximately 600 and 500 foot spacing between the laterals on the six wells. Initial results from the downspacing tests are encouraging and the company will continue to monitor production results going forward. Using an 18/64" choke size, the six-well Grunder pad produced at an average 5-day sales rate per well of approximately 1.2 Mboe/d, comprised of 2.1 MMcf/d of natural gas, 454 bbls/d of condensate and 433 bbls/d of NGLs (assuming full ethane recovery). 
In addition, the company recently placed into sales the three-well Jenkins pad. The three wells were drilled with an average lateral length of approximately 5,350 feet and completed with an average of 33 completion stages. Also utilizing an 18/64" choke size, the three-well Jenkins pad produced at an average 5-day sales rate per well of approximately 1.6 Mboe/d, comprised of 2.7 MMcf/d of natural gas, 609 bbls/d of condensate and 563 bbls/d of NGLs (assuming full ethane recovery). 
"We are pleased with the most recent results from our Warrior North Prospect," said Tom Stabley, Chief Executive Officer of Rex Energy. "With more than 70% of the production from these wells coming from condensate and natural gas liquids, we believe these wells further demonstrate the value of our Ohio Utica assets. In addition, we believe that the restricted choke sizes we are utilizing will lead to better well performance over the life of the assets."

Fracktivist in Dimock Releases Carefully Edited Video, Refuses to Release the Rest

From Energy in Depth: There is something very strange going on along Carter Road, in Dimock, Pennsylvania, and I’m not speaking of natural gas, methane migration, contamination, litigation or even the extensive water testing there by the EPA and others.  No, I’m talking about a new “Watergate” conspiracy, complete with 18 minutes of missing tape (well, video, actually). It seems the ever-present Green Party member and  naturist   Vera Scroggins  (a/k/a  Vera Duerga ) has posted a video of Craig Sautner meeting with the EPA.  Mysteriously, the video is but 14 seconds in length, cutting off conversation in what is obviously mid-stream.  It raises a question Craig Sautner, like  Ronald Reagan in Kings Row , might have asked, “Where’s the rest of me?’  Carter Road, isn’t Kings Row, of course, (at least not until you arrive at  the mansion Scott Ely, one of the Dimock litigants, is building with his royalty money ), but there appears to be...

The Second Largest Oil and Gas Merger - Cabot and Cimarex

       Due to investor pressure, the U.S shale drillers are being pushed to improve financial and operational performance after a few years of poor returns. Even though the industry has improved its numbers, when compared to last year, investors still want more to be done for them to earn more money.      That's why two mid-tier shale drillers, Cabot and Climarex, have decided to merge in order to eliminate $100 million in annual costs, which means more money for the investors. This all-stock transaction is valued at about $7.4 billion, which is relatively high for the oil and gas sector.      The new entity will be renamed and the headquarters located in Houston, Texas. Cabot shareholders will own 49.5 percent of the new entity, and Climarex the rest.       The Cimarex-Cabot merger will address the investor's demand for a higher amount of returning cash. The initial plan is to pay a 50-cent-per-share special dividen...

Do You Know The History of Fracking?

By -

  In 2018, 59% of total oil production in the U.S came from hydraulic fracking, which means it accounted for more than two-thirds of domestically manufactured gas. By 2024, fracking will reach an astounding $68 billion market value! Of course, fracking is not a new drilling method as you can trace it back hundreds of years. That's why we want to consider the history of hydraulic fracturing (fracking). We will be stating historical facts about it and focusing on the major historical occurrences that have influenced modern-day fracking. Pre-Fracking Days The idea of fracking started back in 1862 when Edward A.L. Roberts (Civil War veteran) witnessed Confederate soldiers exploding artillery rounds into a canal that obstructed a battlefield. At the time, Edward A.L. Roberts called it superincumbent fluid tamping. On April 26th, 1865, Edward A.L. Roberts began experimenting with exploding torpedoes, which consisted of lowering a torpedo containing an amount of powder from fifteen to tw...
