Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Rex Energy Corp. announced results from a Butler County, Pa., Marcellus Shale test, #1H Reno. The horizontal well was placed into sales and had an average five-day rate of 10.6 MMcfe/d with 38% liquids (assuming full ethane recovery). The total depth was not announced. The well is producing from a 4,150-ft lateral and was completed in 28 stages. The Butler, Pa.-based company also announced results from its nearby, five-well Ferree pad. The company's second test of a stacked Upper Devonian Burkett/Marcellus was placed into sales in late 2014. The five wells on the pad were drilled with an average lateral length of 5,500 ft and completed with an average of 33 stages. The wells produced at an average five-day sales rate per well of 8.3 MMcfe/d with 55% liquids (assuming full ethane recovery). Preliminary analysis does not indicate any communication between the Upper Devonian Burkett and Marcellus Shale. The company continues to monitor the effects of the stacked laterals.
