HOUSTON, Nov. 3 -- Western New York's Finger Lakes region gathers more steam.
The US unit of Talisman Energy Inc., Calgary, said its horizontal Soderblom well gauged an equipment-limited 19 MMcfd of gas with 2,300 psi flowing pressure from an undrilled graben in Ordovician Upper Black River. Measured depth is 12,050 ft.
Soderblom could be equivalent to Talisman's nearby Reed well that flowed 5.3 bcf since being placed on line last spring at 34 MMcfd.
Range Resources Corp., Fort Worth, will delineate its shallow Harper-1 discovery in New York that cut 25 ft of Trenton pay last spring and evaluate deeper formations in 2005 in adjacent Bradford County, Pa., where it has 12-69% interest in 81,000 acres.
