What to Expect Chesapeake Energy Corporation's Pear padsite is located just west of the intersection of Sycamore School Road and McCart Avenue. To date, one well has been drilled on the Pear site and pipeline has been installed.
Pipeline and Compressor Stations
Chesapeake Midstream Partners began construction on the much anticipated Pear pipeline route, which will serve all current and future wells on the Pear padsite. This pipeline route will not go through any neighborhoods, but instead was designed to utilize portions of City of Fort Worth right-of-way along McCart and Sycamore School roads.
Temporary construction site will be set up in the northern portion of the Albertson's parking lot near McCart and Sycamore School roads. All agreements and permissions have been granted to conduct this work on the Albertson's property. Furthermore, all permissions have been granted by the City of Fort Worth and impacted private landowners for easements and temporary work access. Construction is anticipated to be completed by September 2011.
No compressor stations are needed on this site.
