41 Marcellus Operators Miss Production Reporting Deadline
|
|
More than half of the companies drilling into the Marcellus Shale failed to meet the August 15 deadline to report their gas production.
Under Act 15 of 2010, Marcellus operators were required to report their well production totals from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 by August 15. Only 33 of the 74 companies drilling into the Marcellus met the deadline. The other 55 percent failed to do so. To date, another nine companies have completed the report following the August 15 deadline.
DEP Secretary John Hanger said of the violations, “The fact that so many companies failed to meet the deadline for providing this information is troubling. We plan to follow-up with each non-compliant firm and pursue whatever enforcement action is necessary to get them to abide by the law.”
The public can track a Marcellus operator’s reports on DEP's website, as well as a list of those operators that have not submitted their production reports totals.
