Each of the three wells targeted a different section of the Utica and they were also in three different geographic areas. We tested our three wells after pumping four stage fracs on each one. Our rates achieved were between 100 Mcf per day and 800 Mcf per day without full recovery of the load water from the fracs.

August 2009 Update:  Well, we have ten year leases up there, what we are doing there is we took all the rocks and the data, and did a frac rock mechanics work including with BJ in Houston and that was supposed to come out this summer and of course summer time is better than when we frac those wells.

Up to this point, we were the only company who had done horizontals, and I understand there have been two announcements publicly, one private firm in Cavalry, where we’ll have interest in I believe J.C. and then also Talisman has announced several horizontals, so we’d be interested in seeing how those come out on the drilling and the completion. Although, others have had trouble on the drilling, we have not. It would be the completion and basically what we are talking is about redoing it on the frac jobs and trying it again.

- Talisman Energy TLM -  Talisman Energy is very active in the Utica Shale Natural Gas Field -Talisman’s Quebec acreage is along the St. Lawrence River where the Company has currently earned or acquired a total of 310,000 net acres. The Company also has rights to earn up to an additional 460,000 net acres. In 2008, one well was drilled and another was drilling over year end. Initial tests from the Gentilly recompletion were also conducted. Talisman expects to complete the drilling component of its earning phase (two additional wells) by the end of the first quarter of 2009. The Company anticipates that testing will continue into the second and third quarters of 2009 depending on equipment availability. Talisman will continue evaluating the potential for commercial gas in Quebec throughout 2009.

- Equitable Resources EQT -  EQT has Utica Shale deposit exposure: CEO:  The second well at this point is a vertical into the Utica, that's where we're headed, we’ll frac and complete both of those wells. So, one will be horizontal, one will be vertical. See how it goes and produce them. If they work, we'll produce them into the pipeline at that point. Beyond that though if the Utica doesn't work we’ll just back off inside of that current vertical well and then drill out a horizontal Marcellus well through that same exact hole, that's one of the reasons we did this year as we sort of get a relatively cheap look at the Utica with this well. But if Utica works, we will produce. If it doesn't work we'll back off and drill on horizontal Marcellus. If the Utica does work, we'll go ahead and drill on the third well here. The third well will be a horizontal Marcellus well. Hope that clears that up.  Update:  We're still in that process of engineering, a bigger frac job in the Utica Shale. We're thinking about drilling another well but we don't know whether in the context of the market conditions whether we are going to do that sooner or later and when we drill later, if we drill, we liked it, frac both at the same time. So we're sort of on a little bit of hold on the Utica at this point.
