EQT Surveying in Upper Burrell for Wells Planned in Murrysville

Upper Burrell residents (Westmoreland County, PA) recently received notifications from consulting firm Verdanterra regarding upcoming surveying for natural gas lateral wells. These horizontal wells will be drilled from EQT’s Hermes well pad in neighboring Murrysville (also in Westmoreland County), following EQT’s recent acquisition of Olympus Energy. While Township Supervisor Chairman Ross Walker described the process as a standard, "innocuous" procedure conducted by foot without land disturbance, the project highlights the increasing length of well laterals in the Appalachian region.
