The company plans to drill the vertical portion of the Anderson 7H well to a depth above the kick-off point and set casing. A second, larger rig will follow-on to drill the horizontal portion at a depth of approximately 7,000 feet. The company’s current plan calls for keeping the rigs drilling continuously through 2009.
James Abcouwer, president and CEO of Trans Energy, said: We have to-date successfully drilled four vertical Marcellus wells. Beginning a horizontal program is another significant step forward for Trans Energy to properly develop its acreage position in northern West Virginia.
