|---|---|
| Target formation | Utica shale; Point Pleasant Formation; Point Pleasant; Utica |
| Townships | Washington Township; Madison Township |
| Acreage committed to the unit | 91.76% |
| Royalty rate stated in the filing | 12.50% |
| Risk penalty | 200% |
| How production is allocated | Unit participation - the ratio of the surface acreage of a specific tract in the unit area to the total surface acreage of the unit area (385.854 acres); the Utica shale and Point Pleasant Formation uniformly underlies the unit area. |
| Term | Unit operations may commence at 7:00 a.m. the day following approval; once the initial well is placed into production, operations may continue as long as hydrocarbons are produced from any well in the unit without a cessation of more than 90 days (subject to delay-in-production payments up to 360 days), unless otherwise approved by the Chief. |

The schedule in the filing's own words
Ascent proposes to drill one well in the Cooper W WSG GR Unit for the purpose of recovering oil and gas. Ascent shall drill at least one well to total measured depth as specified in the application in the unit area within 12 months from the date of approval of this Order as prescribed in Paragraph 10 of this order. If Ascent fails to drill at least one well to total measured depth as specified in the application in the unit area within 12 months from the date of approval of this Order as prescribed in Paragraph 10 of this order, the Chief may revoke this order. In order to achieve the stated goal of substantially increasing the ultimate recovery of oil and gas from the Utica shale and Point Pleasant Formation within the unit area, Ascent shall produce from one well no later than two years after the date of approval of this order. If Ascent fails to drill to total measured depth, complete, and produce at least one well in the unit area, the Chief may amend or revoke this order.
Economics, as filed by the operator
As filed by the operator. These are Ascent's own sworn figures from the unitization application. They are not an appraisal, not a forecast by BasinDesk and not an offer.
| Wells in the economics | 1 |
|---|---|
| Total lateral length | 20,051 ft (average 20,051 ft a well) |
| Estimated gross recovery (EUR) | 13.75 Bcfe (686 MMcfe per 1,000 ft of lateral) |
| Capital costs | $12.75 million ($636 per lateral foot) |
| Operating costs | $19.99 million |
| Undiscounted value of estimated recovery | $89.55 million ($232,083 per unit acre) |
| PV0 (net cash flow, undiscounted) | $56.13 million |
| PV10 (net cash flow at 10 percent) | $25.53 million |
The operator's case for the unit
The same figures as a table
| With the unit | Without the unit | |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated recovery (Bcfe) | 13.75 | 2.91 |
| Capital costs | $12.75 million | $6.13 million |
| Undiscounted value | $89.55 million | $18.95 million |
| PV0 | $56.13 million | $6.94 million |
| PV10 | $25.53 million | $1.95 million |
What those figures imply for a royalty owner
| Royalty rate used | 12.50%, as stated in the filing |
|---|---|
| Royalty share of the undiscounted value, per net royalty acre | $29,010 |
| The same, scaled by the operator's own PV10 to PV0 ratio (0.455) | $13,195 |
Arithmetic on the operator's filed numbers: undiscounted value times the royalty rate, divided by unit acres. It spreads the whole life of the wells evenly over the unit and ignores deductions, timing and price changes. It is not a valuation of your interest.
Parcels in the unit
Each parcel number comes from the operator's Exhibit A. Its shape is the county's own public parcel map (which county layer), and the acres inside and outside the unit are measured from that shape against the filed unit boundary. Where the filing states its own acres for the parcel's tract, that figure is shown beside ours; neither replaces the other.

Measured from public parcel maps, which are drawn for tax purposes and are not surveys. "Differs" marks a parcel where our measure and the filing's own figure are more than 5% and half an acre apart. A parcel is flagged as also in another unit when at least 1% of it lies inside that unit's filed boundary, or when that unit's Exhibit A lists the same parcel number.

Tract participation is the share of unit production allocated to the listed interests of that tract. "Not stated" means the operator's exhibit left the cell empty or used a layout that could not be read.
Ownership
57 listed interests on the operator's latest Exhibit A. A mailing address is on 57 of them.
Locked. The owner list comes with the unit: each owner's name, mailing address and owner type, the tract and parcel, gross and net acres, acres in the unit, tract participation, decimal interest, lease status and lease reference, in the app and as a CSV. The free sample shows everything about a unit except its owner rows. It opens when a subscription covers this unit, or when you add the unit for $10, one time, for your whole organization.
