Capped means they sealed it off. They are not going to put it into production at this time. Maybe later when prices are higher? Maybe never at all.

My understanding is that the reason the well has been capped, is because there is a group of people who will not allow chesapeake to put a pipeline in. They have hired an attorney and are demanding an "outrageous" amount of money to allow access for the pipeline. (as per a nearby neighbor).
Greenwood Springridge road run down the line between T16 R 16 Secs 14 and 13. Pine Orchard Rd itself lies SE of there in T 16 R 15 Sec 19. See attached pdf.

I learned today that Chesapeake will begin fracing the well in the next 2 weeks.
