Here is where some info about East Resources should go. This article is still a stub and needs your attention. It does not have a template and contains minimal information. Please dive in and help it grow!
Warrendale, Pennsylvania-based East Resources is a privately-held oil and gas exploration and production company. It has a Marcellus shale leasehold in excess of 650,000 net acres in the key southwestern and northeastern Pennsylvania areas of the trend. The company is focusing on northeastern Pennsylvania.
In September, 2008, it was reported as a joint venture partner with Ultra Petroleum Corp. in a Potter County, Pennsylvania exploration program. East has a 50% working interest and is the well operator. So far, there are two two Oriskany exploratory wells. One of these has potential production of 5 Mmcf/d. Other wells there are targeting the Marcellus shale.
An October, 2008 report noted that East was buying about 60,000 gallons of water per day from the Borough of Coudersport in Potter County for fracking a well in North Coudersport.
Another October report indicated that East has recorded 162 leases during 2008 with the Bradford County, Pennsylvania Registrar of Deeds.
A November, 2008 report noted that East Resources had leased acreage in Tioga County, the next county east of Potter County.
