EAW37 (EASTHILL) Environmental Evaluation

Jim Irre of Greenway Engineering was at the cabin property today for another environmental evaluation of a different location for the proposed EAW37 (EASTHILL) well pad on our property. This new location is Southeast of the prior EASTHILL location. If the environmental study of this location is acceptable then a GPS mapping of the location will be preformed to determine placement of the proposed well pad.

Pipeline and Drill Pad Status

A team from Chesapeake was in the neighborhood today doing an initial walk-through for another gas pipeline.


This pipeline, the Wesauking Pipeline, will run East/West and connect to the North/South running Wilmot Pipeline on our Cabin property. Both pipelines are still in the planning stages and subject to change due to placement of gas drilling pads.


Chesapeake is also working on the well pad design and locations for EASTHILL (EAW37) and WESTHILL (EAW40) drill sites on our properties. I have requested that Chesapeake move the location of the EASTHILL pad, on the cabin property, to the south and away from neighborhood homes.

The following photo shows a Greenway Engineering GPS unit set-up along Joyce Road. The drill rig at the TREAT well pad can be seen in the background (center of the photo and to the left of the tripod).

EASTHILL site survey

Greenway Engineering was in the neighborhood today to do the initial survey of the proposed EASTHILL (EAW37) drill site. This survey will be done with a GPS mapping system to create a 3D map of the property for use in creating a well pad layout. Two wooden survey stakes and metal pins were placed along Joyce Road next to our cabin property as reference markers for other surveys done on the EASTHILL drill site.

Well Site EAW-37 update

After conducting an environmental evaluation of the Minyon property on Joyce Road, Chesapeake has decided to move the proposed EAW-37 well site south to our property. Jim Irre and Tom Meeks of Greenway Engineering were on our property today marking wetland areas on the property prior to a survey of the proposed well site. The proposed name for this well site is "EASTHILL" ("BEEBE" was taken by the Clark Beebe site). Along with the "EASTHILL" (EAW-37) well site, Chesapeake is also looking at a proposed well site, EAW-40, on our West Hill property. The proposed site name for EAW-40 is "WESTHILL". If both sites are selected we will have well sites "EASTHILL" and "WESTHILL".
