Disagree, we have seismic testing going on for Marcellus and Utica now on our property, about 33 acres, so, if they drill, we gonna get some monies.

Further, a driller told me they are finding far more oil than they expected in the Utica layers, as well as higher amounts of good gases, butane, etc.

Now that President Senility is gone, the game is back on. Originally Posted by Devo

I had worked previously for a LARGE gas producer here and Utica wells are indeed very productive, due to the higher pressures and volumes.

Nothing wrong with drilling- ITS just really expensive.

Especially the Utica shale play.

THe amount of water and mud down hole along with the pressures is almost insane. 8-12k PSI, which will shut in local shallow wells, and some marcellus shale wells; That means throttling in pressures or building compressor stations. Not that big a deal if there something there. Believe it or not- the petroleum engineers locally not only know what area's have the best well sites, but they have them mapped out, and it's just a matter of not crossing into other wells to disrupt flow or the like.

Good luck Mr. Clampett.

Only two stations in the area have gas below $3 per Gas Buddy

The avg for the Pgh area is currently $3.379 per AAA
OP here was all excited about filling up for $3.29, and seeing as low as $3.19. So, gas prices really haven't gone anywhere since post #1 here.

Of course, and Texas has some of the lowest gas prices in the country. But I bet they're about the same now as they were when this thread was started (March 28).

By the way, OP was referring to Pittsburgh prices.

Unless you belong to one of the clubs like Sam's club or BJ's there is not that much of a difference with gas since Trump's been in office.

A lot of $3.59's especially during the holidays in Pittsburgh and Erie. $3.07 in Ohio yesterday.

You can find it at regular gas station's if you look for it in the $3.30's. It just seems cheaper since everything has gone up so much more this year.

I can't wait till we start winning. I hope I can hold out that long.

And, as was already covered in this thread, Texas has some of the lowest gas prices in the country.

Gas prices in W PA have increased. Costco in the waterfront. Stations along rte 30 from N Versailles thru N Huntington have increased. Gas in Normalville had been the cheapest at 119. Not sure what they are now. Gas on Donegal was the priciest. Just my observation
