Some of you folks probably don't get the Akron Beacon Journal but a reporter named Bob Downing has been writing some interesting articles about the Utica drilling.

Gas exploration sparks economic surge in Carroll County

"Other counties with permits are Tuscarawas (seven)"

"The company (CHK) has boosted the number of drilling rigs in Ohio from five to eight this year.  It may have as many as 20 rigs in Ohio by late 2012 and 40 by 2014, the company said."

"Ohio is expecting as many as 4,000 wells drilled into the Utica shale in the next four years as more rigs are moved into the state. Site preparation takes three to four weeks. Drilling takes three to five weeks more. Fracturing a well takes seven to 10 days."

Interesting that this is the first week for the last few months were the number of permits and drilled wells is the same as last week on the ODNR web site

CNX rep told me they're filing two permits for Tusc wells this or next week.  I'm told the areas are staked out as well.  Near Ragersville/Stone Creek area, east of the Troyer well.

Since CNX drilled the Troyer, and the database has said "moving Rig" for a while. then that is a good sign that CNX is staying in the area.  There is at least a one week lag from when ODNR posts the spreadsheet and when the data was validated.  There may be other delays too, so I suspect you may see a rig drilling long before it shows up on the database.  One would think that the permit has to be the first thing to happen, or someone isn't doing their job.   The "before drilling" groundwater quality samples have to be taken after the permit and before the ground is disturbed.   Let's see how long between the posted information and the "permit issued" date that is listed on that spreadsheet.   Keep in touch.

Drillers are shifting away from natural gas-only areas for areas like eastern Ohio where they can get ethane, butane and propane.
