The Renz Number 1 well was completed in 2004 on a farm in Mount Pleasant Township, Washington County Pennsylvania. The Renz Number 1 is generally regard as the discovery well for the Marcellus shale.[1] The Well was developed by the texas based oil and gas corporation Range Resources.[2] Initially Range Resources had begun drilling in 2003 with the intention of reaching deeper Devonian and Silurian Gas deposits. In october 2004, range revisited the well in order to hydraulically fracture areas of the the marcellus, where they had reported large gas shows during drilling in 2003. Range Resources began producing shale gas at the Renz Number 1 in 2005, Following the development of Renz number 1 Range resources proceeded to expanded operations in the Marcellus, drilling hundreds of shale gas wells in Washington County. [3]
The Renz number 1 well produced 5,524.21 Mcf of natural gas during thirty-one days of operation in 2005. The well had periods of intermittent production between 2006 and 2010 with annual production of 44,017.58Mcf in 2006, 32,927 Mcf in 2007, 25,740.04 Mcf in 2008, and 20,397.49 Mcf in 2009 and 9,798 Mcf From July 1, 2010, to December 31, 2010.
Subsequent to the completion of the Renz 1 Well, the Range resources corporation began a adapting horizontal drilling techniques developed in the barnett shale of texas. after finding success with these methods Range Resources proceed to extensively employ slickwater hydraulic fracturing techniques with horizontal drilling to increase the economic viability of their activities in the Marcellus shale.[5] Following the successful drilling of the Renz 1 discovery well the development of new wells proceeded very rapidly; two wells were drilled in 2005, eleven in 2006, thirty-four in 2007, 210 in 2008, 768 in 2009, and 1,454 in 2010. by december 2010, approximately 2,500 Marcellus wells had been drilled in Pennsylvania.[6]
