Well I was up taking some pictures of Ensign 122 and they said there is going to be more drilling in that area very soon. Cheyenne and Laramie, and more rigs are coming to Weld Co Colorado this summer...

I did see an SST Rig about s. Greeley and Terry Bison Ranch Road back in December ..about 3 miles north of H&P 133... Saw a triple off 80 the other day just west of TA @ Hillsdale..
but it was too foggy to see who it belonged to!

We'll more news about drilling in and around Cheyenne.... A new Geologist out of the school of mines said that... there are hundreds of leases being bought up in that area... and heard that drilling should start up soon... lot of rigs coming... he also said more in Weld co south of Cheyenne... so kind of the same story.. he was a jazz up about it....

A petroleum engineer friend of mine told me two weeks ago that Chesapeake was planning to bring 18-20 rigs to drill the Niobrara east of Cheyenne by this summer. I've heard that as many as 90 rigs expected in that area by summer time.

I was just on SST 53 down by Cheyenne doing directional work that was down by Cheyenne.  I was talking to a Chesapeake Co. Man that said the same thing as Tony was saying in that there is going to be 18-20 rigs down by Cheyenne drilling the Niobrara by the middle part of June.  The company I work for has been contracted to do the directional work on 9 rigs down in that area.

 

As soon as they get the Niobrara figured out completely there are going to be more rigs than people know what to do with as long as the government stays out of it.

We were in Cheyenne right before Christmas (we even drove back to Rock Springs in that bad snowstorm). We fraced a well there, and we are wondering the same-is it going to bust open?

I'm in bulk materials with Halliburton in Casper, and from what i have heard, most of the play is shifting away from Cheyenne and moving more towards Douglas. Chesapeake is going like hell out there as well as EOG and Samson, with Devon on all of their heels.
