According to Akron Beacon Journal, a Tyler County, West Virginia natural gas well has produced 46.5 million cubic feet (Mmcf) per day since it went online a little more than a week ago.

Houston-based Magnum Hunter Resources operates the well, named Stewart Windland 1300U. The well is ranked among the Utica Shale’s top-producing wells, such as one of Rice Energy’s wells in Belmont County, Ohio. At 10,825 feet deep and a lateral of 5,289 feet, it is boasts one of the highest flow rates in the Utica play.

From Akron Beacon Journal:

“It is the second Utica well drilled in West Virginia, where the shale formation is deeper and more expensive to tap. Chevron Corp. drilled the first in Marshall County earlier this year.”
