Norse Energy’s gas production down over past quarter
NEW YORK – Natural gas production from Norse Energy’s wells in Central New York has declined over the previous quarter due to reduced drilling and the lack of production from several wells that are presently shut-in or awaiting pipeline.
The production averaged an estimated 6,775 million cubic feet per day in the third quarter. This represents a decrease of approximately 15 percent over the second quarter production level, according to a company shareholders’ report.
However, Dennis Holbrook, an attorney for Norse, said the business is “still going strong, pursuing the Herkimer and anticipating additional drilling throughout the region.”
Two Herkimer wells in Smyrna and one in Plymouth were recently competed. Workers will most likely move the company’s rig onto three sites that are permitted along county Road 21 in Plymouth, all within a 1/4 of a mile of each other. The Chenango County Highway Department was recently contacted for permits to bore under the roadway in two places. Public Works Director Randy Gibbon said the permits were issued.
The company is also working with state officials to cross state lands and with property owners to purchase right-of-way easements, all for a pipeline that would run south from Plymouth to the Millennium Pipeline in Broome County. Holbrook said overcoming both obstacles has been a challenge.
“What I find out there is that there are land coalitions that exist to promote lease rights, but in some cases, those same individuals are impairing our ability to get right-of-ways through the area. In some cases, they are going door-to-door and asking people to not do business with us. That may ultimately alter where I want to go, and people in the target areas where we were going to go (drill) may not be too happy,” he said.
