I had been told by several people that it is a service rig; not a drilling

rig.

It's not active, it's parked inside the fence at Basin Tool. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow when I go by there. Going to a wedding over at Wooster and will go past the rig on the way there.

I can't find any active rig under that name yet.

Anyone else see the "Mercer Drilling" rig sitting at the old Riceland Cabinet facility (now Basin Tool) at Rt 30 and Kansas Rd? Any idea where it is headed or who they are drilling for?

There is now an Ashland County group available.

I'm seeing conflicting reports. Rex's press release says that the deal with Abarta and MFC is not in Wayne, Ashland, Richland but rather in Noble, Belmont & Guernsey.

This info is for anyone who has land in Richland, Ashland, Huron, and/or Wayne counties. Medina Fuel Company (AKA MFC Drilling Co.) Just did a joint venture with Rex Energy and Abarta Oil and Gas. Why is this important...because Medina Fuel Company holds a lot of leases in these counties, along with Devon Energy...so now we have other players, and more importantly, Devon isn't the only player in our playground. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!

Although keeping a lid on the details of the deal for now, Rex Energy Corp. said the Utica Shale joint venture it recently entered into with MFC Drilling Inc. and Abarta Oil & Gas Co. Inc. requires it to drill and complete one well and begin drilling two others by Nov. 15, and requires three additional wells each year until the company satisfies the carry obligation. The JV covers a three county region of eastern Ohio.(more...)

The Medina well is being prepared for fracking. This is the well head.

Water lines are being laid this week and 8 new tanks showed up.This picture shows 3 lines coming to/from a pond on the farm. One line comes from the creek on the west side of Richman Rd. and goes to a pond on the east side of the road. There are 2 pumps at the pond to the east of the well pad and those two lines go to the well pad from the pond. Looks like they will be pumping water from the creek to the pond and using it as a reservoir for fresh water for the frack job. Sorry the pic is so bad, it was taken from the road with a cell phone and where the water lines end at the pumps beside the pond to the right of the house is near 1/2 mile off the road.

I should have specified that the first well appears to be a bust.  I shouldn't write off an entire county because of that.  Apologies for my broad generalization.  Medina probably has potential but the lack of activity seems to indicate geological issues.
