INDIANA, PA. — Penn State Cooperative Extension will hold a program in Indiana, Pa., called Seismic Testing, Pipeline Agreements and Shale Gas Development Updates — Where is the Industry Headed?
Indiana County has a long history of an oil and gas industry. With the development of shale gas drilling for natural gas, more companies are setting up a base of operation.
Fifteen shale gas wells are producing natural gas with 42 permits issued for new drilling.
Producing wells require pipelines and drilling companies are trying to better understand where to construct well pads for drilling.
Property owners are being approached to permit seismic testing on their land and for the construction of pipelines. Many landowners who have not been approached for seismic and pipeline agreements will be in the near future.
Join Dan Brockett and Jon Laughner, Penn State Marcellus education team educators as they discuss the procedure, importance and impacts of seismic testing and pipeline development and what landowners should consider when approached to lease.
Topics include: What is LiDAR?, the value of a pipeline right-of-way, how to reduce pipeline impacts, and when is signing a pipeline right-of-way worth $4500 an acre and when is it worth $62,000 an acre?
The workshop will be held June 19 at the Indiana County Extension office, 827 Water St., Indiana, Pa., in the first floor meeting room.
Registration is required due to limited seating. There will be a $10 fee per person for the event, payable at the door. Call 724-465-3880 to register.
