the formation, despite its additional 4,000
feet of depth in those areas.
Across the Appalachian Basin, he said
there were 844 drilled, completed or producing wells longer than 10,000 feet.
Since Eclipse Resource Corp. drilled the
Purple Hayes, with its 20,803-foot lateral
in Guernsey County, Oh., more operators
have topped the 20,000-foot mark in Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
Turning to the region's top performers,
he highlighted the Flowers 2 well operated
by Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. Drilled in
Susquehanna County, Pa., Knobloch said,
the well has so far produced 24.5 billion
cubic feet of gas, with a projected total
production of 35.0 Bcf.
State Agencies
The West Virginia Department of Commerce should be a catalyst to improve
the state's economy, Commerce Secretary
Ed Gaunch told the winter meeting. The
nine agencies that report to him need to
work together in a cohesive way with the
same focus and goals: to increase employment and move the state forward, he
described.
"A tremendous amount of work has
been done in the legislature over the past
four years: civil justice reform and legislation that provides benefits to your industry in particular," he said. "I am
anxious now to see what I can do to facilitate a state government that tries to
make all of you as prosperous as you can
be, and help you create as many jobs in
the state as you can"
Gaunch cited the latest Fraser Institute
survey that ranked West Virginia fifth
globally for petroleum exploration and
development investments, a sign that his
department must continue to fully support
the industry, including backing a regional
storage hub.
Austin Caperton, DEP secretary, said
his agency was continuing its reorganization
projects by putting two deputies in charge
of external affairs and agency operations.
He added the only upside of judicial
decisions blocking pipeline construction
was that they forced gas users to consider
relocating to West Virginia. He pointed
to the challenges facing the Mountain
Valley Pipeline after the 4th Circuit Court
of Appeals stopped it from running a
segment under the Appalachian Trail.
"We cannot understand what the justices said, and we really don't know what
to do," Caperton admitted. "Mountain
Valley was going under the trail 100 feet
below the surface."

Gas Storage, Trading Hub Has
Huge Benefits For Appalachia
CHARLESTON, W.V.-A natural gas
storage and trading hub planned for the
Appalachian Basin will ensure a petrochemical renaissance in the region, and
bring decades of jobs, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice told the Independent
Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia.
"It ensures our security forever, the
way I see it," the governor said at IOGAWV's winter meeting, held Jan. 2223. "It means decades and decades of
Marcellus and Utica gas that you have,
and now the Rogersville. It is just unbelievable what can happen with the hub."
The oil and natural gas industry remains vital to the state's economic wellbeing, Justice said, adding that President
Trump's energy policies also were helping producers and thus West Virginia.
"But there has to be a lot more. There
has to be an active encouragement for
our side to bring in investors who are
willing to put real investment and real
effort into what we are doing in West
Virginia. And we are working on that,"
he reported.

Manufacturing Magnet
At the state level, Justice said industry
needed a cooperative, business-friendly
Department of Environmental Protection
that was working to safeguard the environment, while at the same time regulating
in ways that fostered economic activities.
The governor told IOGAWV his office's top economic priority was getting
a natural gas storage and trading hub
built in the Appalachian Basin. He pointed
to the White House's support for the coal
industry as one indication of how Washington encourages business activity, saying
after Trump declared an end to the war
on coal, many miners were back at work.
A regional storage and trading hub
would attract natural gas users, similar
to building a hog farm where corn is
grown, Justice compared. "Here is the
cheapest natural gas, maybe in the world,
and the most abundant natural gas on the
planet-bring the hub to us," he urged.
"In addition, this hub ensures against the
catastrophe of a giant hurricane-or whatever-hitting the Gulf Coast. All of this is
