Norse's 5th Shale Gas Application

[Update April 2, 2012:  The proposed Spacing Unit Map associated with this application has been obtained in PDF form and uploaded here.]

[Update Feb. 28, 2012:  Changed to reflect fixes to DEC database which show the originally listed township (Sanford) and county (Broome) were incorrect, but that the lat/long were, in fact, accurate.]

[Update Jan. 17, 2012:  See comments section for word from a DEC Minerals Division staffer that Norse has been alerted to its inputting error.]

Twitter associate @ikkeregistrert — who closely monitors Norse Energy, quite evidently as a stockholder — noticed this new application this morning:

API Well Number:  31007300000000 [click to Google-map it]
Well Name:  Sage, J. 1H
Company Name:  Norse Energy Corp USA
Well Type:  Not Listed
Well Status:  App to Drill/Plug/Convert
Objective Formation:  Marcellus
County:  Chenango

Bottom Hole Total Measured Depth:  7891

Only trouble is, the coordinates auto-click into the Town of Smithville, Chenango County, which is quite a ways northwest of the Town of Sanford, Broome County.

So there's either a typo there, or the township and county are incorrect.  Knowing something about Norse's leasehold, it's probably that the township and county are incorrect.
