BP6
BP6 is a well pad located in Bell Township, Westmoreland County, PA, comprising 3 producing Marcellus wells, and 1 producing Utica well. In December 2023, CNX completed the drilling of 2 additional Utica wells and 3 Marcellus wells. Hydraulic fracturing was completed in June of 2024. Wells are currently in production. BP6 is archived under the Radical Transparency program. The program includes monitoring of well pads in the construction, drilling, and completions phases of development through approximately 6 months of production.
Upwind and downwind air quality monitoring equipment measuring PM2.5 (particulate matter) and VOCs known as BTEX was installed within 500’ of the well pad.
The prevailing wind direction for this region is from the southwest. CNX positioned the PM2.5 monitors such that one would be subject to winds from upwind of the well pad and the other would be in the path of wind traveling across the well pad (downwind).
