They've been drilling across the road from the northwest corner of the farm for a week or so. They work around the clock. There's a steady dull roar from that direction, though you can't hear it very well in the house. The drilling rig is the tallest thing that's ever visited this valley. At night it is lit up like a miniature skyscraper. We tried to take pictures but they didn't come out too well, so I went back by daylight. It seems that even Nornew is enjoying the beautiful fall weather.
The rig is on the former Corey farm, on the knoll behind the barn.
You can't get too close. There are signs requiring hard hats and warning off unauthorized persons. They have smoothed off the the whole top of the hill to make a platform for the well and have built gravel embankments around the platform's edges.
Here's how it looks from the hill on the east side of the farm.
The drilling rig and the mountain. (Enlarge.)
Here's where it is.

Hi. At dec.ny.gov I read that the Blood well Confidential Expiration Date was 16.oct2008. Any news from this well, I believe the landowner now can release some news ?

Norse Energy Seeks JV Partner for New York Marcellus & Utica Shale
Acreage
October 22, 2008 - Norse Energy Corp. ASA (OSE-NEC, Oslo, Norway, US OTC
symbol "NSEEF") announced today that its U.S. subsidiary, Nornew, Inc.,
has retained Jefferies Randall & Dewey, a division of Jefferies &
Company, Inc. to advice it in the formation of a joint venture to
develop the Company's extensive Marcellus and Utica Shale position in
several New York state counties.
Norse Energy has in excess of 130,000 net acres under lease in the New
York counties of Broome, Chenango, and Madison, in the central and
southern tier of New York State. Most of this acreage has development
potential in both the Marcellus and Utica Shale formations. Notably,
the company's acreage position is anchored by a 50-mile plus proprietary
transportation and gathering system, presently connected to a large
utility company and a major interstate transmission system. The
transportation and gathering system has potential access to two
additional major transmission pipelines, targeting the high-demand gas
markets in the US Northeast.
As Norse Energy's own resources currently are being utilized primarily
to develop the Herkimer play, the company believes that the
establishment of a joint venture could accelerate the development of the
large and potentially very valuable shale exploration acreage, and hence
create additional growth and add to shareholder value. Management is
evaluating strategic alternatives, and has retained Jefferies Randall &
Dewey as advisors in this process.
