Marcellus Shale · Appalachian Basin

API 47-061-05124 · WV · Drilled 2004 · 7,240 ft TD · Status: Shut-in

Viability Score

Recommended Development Pathway

In-Field Drilling — Horizontal Lateral

Estimated Incremental Recovery

18–30K Mcf/day IP

Vertical Marcellus well in active horizontal development corridor. High confidence redevelopment — horizontal sidetrack economics compelling at current gas prices.

Six-Driver Viability Assessment · Avg 82/100

Reservoir Potential

86/100

Marcellus vertical predates horizontal development era. Offset horizontal wells producing 5–8 MMcf/d IP in same county. Vertical confirms formation top and thickness.

Wellbore Condition

80/100

Surface casing suitable for horizontal sidetrack conductor. Production casing needs assessment — MIT recommended before drilling.

Field Redevelopment

84/100

Appalachian Marcellus horizontal development active. EQT and CNX horizontal units within 2 miles.

Infrastructure Readiness

82/100

1.6 miles to Equitrans gathering. High-pressure header nearby.

Regulatory Clarity

79/100

WVDEP horizontal permit well-precedented. Estimated 60 days.

Environmental Profile

81/100

No environmental history. Standard Marcellus risk profile.
