Chesapeake Energy is proud to partner with the Echo Heights Community. Our plans for the McCulley wellsite off of Parker Henderson Road are well under way and will be a major benefit to Prairie Dog Park which surrounding residents can enjoy for years to come.
Chesapeake Energy is applying for a gas well permit with the City of Fort Worth. The McCulley site will be located off of Parker Henderson Road, just south of Prairie Dog Park in Fort Worth District 5. Drilling began on the McCulley 1H on December 15.
This location will be high impact to Prairie Dog Park, but no residences are within 600 feet. The padsite will sit behind 90 feet of a natural tree buffer and will not be visible from the park once the wells are completed.
Chesapeake Energy is committed to using the cleanest, quietest and most advanced technology at the drillsite to minimize any potential impact to your neighborhood. To ensure that our drilling operations are as unobtrusive as possible, Chesapeake will be implementing state-of-the-art sound mitigation techniques, such as sound walls, to effectively reduce the sound emitted by the drilling process. Furthermore, Chesapeake Energy is required to use 24 hour sound monitoring to ensure its operations coincide with the oridinance set forth by the City of Fort Worth.

Currently, Chespeake Energy plans to develop 162 acres of minerals from this padsite, including the roughly 40 acres belonging to Fort Worth’s Prairie Dog Park. In anticipation of the expected revenue resulting from mineral development through Chesapeake’s drilling operations at this location, the Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Board have created a park master plan to redevelop Prairie Dog Park. This proposed site will bring a direct benefit to the Echo Heights community.
In addition, Chesapeake Energy is required to replace 40% of the tree canopy removed during site construction, and will be asking the city to either add the trees to the park's master plan, or allow the company to plant the trees in the park at the direction of city staff. The estimated cost and benefit of planting the trees in Prairie Dog Park would be $15,000.

The approved transportation route will approach the McCulley site from the south by way of Mansfield Hwy (287 Business) and then travel north on Parker Henderson Road. In an effort to be a good neighbor, Chesapeake Energy has recognized that some of the W.M. Green Elementary School traffic does use Parker Henderson Road, and has agreed to limit large truck traffic during pick-up and drop-off times on scheduled school days.
