Ohio’s Production Numbers Don’t Tell All
Dr. Robert W. Chase, Chair and Professor at Marietta College, gives background on Ohio production data:
"After at least an extra month of guarded anticipation, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (DNR) finally released oil and gas production data on 86 wells producing from the Utica shale during 2012. Oddly enough, an article from Reuters appearing in Friday’s papers dismisses the Utica play as a bust. To quote the…

MUST READ: “Community Bill of Rights” Soundly Defeated By Youngstown Voters
"Last night, voters in the City of Youngstown roundly rejected an ill advised “Community Bill of Rights” charter amendment that threatened the city from regaining its status as the economic powerhouse it once was. The final vote tally shows the charter amendment was handily defeated by a 57% to 43% margin. In the end 3,821 voted against the measure while only 2,880 voted to enact the…

The Gas Company Wants to Modify or Amend My Existing Gas Lease: What Should I Do?
First and foremost, anytime a gas or pipeline company wants you to sign any contract you must thoroughly understand the document and any and all consequences that may result upon execution of the document. Unfortunately, I have seen landowners lose hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars where they blindly executed serious legal documents without fully understanding their leverage and options. It is important not to repeat these costly mistakes and make certain…
