DRILLING
OPERATIONS takes 25 - 30 days
An Oriskany well, top
right , drilling to a depth
of 8,000 feet on
Laurel Hill anticline. The well is located two
miles north of the Seven Springs Ski Resort. Only
two acres are disturbed in the drilling process. When
drilling operations was completed, those two acres were reclaimed and planted with wild
grass, trees and wild flower seed. The remaining site has
the wellhead, a meter, a water tank and a gas dehydration unit
on it. The final site usually occupies a 50 foot by 50
foot area, the equipment can be fenced off. The access
road will be maintained and gated with a lock. Only the
land owner and Intrepid Exploration representatives will be
given access to the
road.
COMPLETED NATURAL GAS
WELL
To the lower right
are four examples of natural
gas wells. Notice the small "footprint" they have. These wells
are easy to hide and enclose. Intrepid's wells will likely be attached
to a 4 to 6 inch diameter pipeline. The
Intrepid wells, unlike the photos, will have three circular valves on
the wellhead which will work to accommodate the large flows
and pressures. |
