Kevin notes that Black Dog Tavern is being demolished. A quick check shows that Chesapeake received a permit for a location just north of there only a few days ago. It is also noted that Chesapeake owns the property Black Dog sits on. It seems they own just about every other property in the vicinity also.
Looks like they have purchased almost all of the property in the area in the last year or so. The blue on the maps indicates Chesapeake ownership via a company named “Tarrant FW Properties”. The Green “X” notes an approximate proposed well location. My question is, what do they need all of this property for? It is way more than would be needed to drill. I think this area is zoned to industry, so a compressor station may be viable there. Also, access seems feasible from either White Settlement or 7th Street. But considering they own most of the properties from 7th street to the location, I would imagine they would enter 7th street side. The well name is Dakota however, which winds around from White Settlement and dead ends into the property.
I didn’t check all the properties in the area, so this may not be entirely accurate. I would have emailed this to Kevin (since this spawned from his post) instead of posting here, but no contact info on ology.
