This is an interesting article about a group looking to lease out 45,000 acres of utica shale. The utica in the states is the next big thing from what I have been reading.
I posted this because it mentions the Chesepeake and some other big names the group has talked too, but Talisman is in there as well. This is a good sign as they clearly show support for the utica and want to get in.
I really do hope they get to frac the remaining two wells coming up. The interim regulations are in place and the BAPE does allow pilot fracing so fingers crossed!
The utica is honestly a huge commodity right now and a lot of states and most notibly in Ohio were they are talking 200,000 jobs over the next so many years which is incredible.
