Construction of a new Olympus Energy natural gas well in Upper Burrell will start in September, according to company officials.
The so-called unconventional wells into Marcellus shale are used in the natural gas extraction process known as fracking.
Construction of the new Calliope Well pad, at 812 White Cloud Road, is planned from September to December. The drilling of five wells at the Calliope pad is expected in July and August 2022 with the well going online in December 2022, said Manny Johnson, vice president of operations for Olympus.
