2016 Marcellus Utica Production Analysis. Presented by Tim Knobloch at AAPG/DPA Playmaker Forum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 13 April, 2016.
This
presentation begins with an overview of Marcellus and Utica Development in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia over time including
a summary of the wells drilled state,
by operator, and by county. Summaries will also present associated production by state and operator.
A
regional look will then review Marcellus EUR/1000’ and the progression of the EUR/1000’ over time. A detailed review of one t
o two counties
per state will then be reviewed showing mapping of the EUR per 1,000’ and example individual well
production decline curves as well as EUR
by operator. A similar analysis will then be presented for the Utica/Point Pleasant.
The materials presented show the significant variation in
EUR/1000’ as well as the focused development to date by a relatively limited number of operators.
