The latest presentation shows that they have added some acreage in tuscarawas county. It looks pretty small, but I suspect they will be adding to their position. Pretty far west in comparison to previous wells, which all been reasonably successful. I think potentially good news for some, as the core areas in the Utica/Point Pleasant are largely leased.

Permalink Reply by Petroleum Attorney 1976 on December 14, 2025 at 10:13am It shouldn't prevent them from developing in Indiana County, as most drilling operators have budgets allocated for each state and typically operate one or two rigs in each location. Additionally, they have established drill site schedules that guide their operations.
It may delay the exploration of the deep Utica, but I believe they will continue to drill Marcellus wells. It is a bit harder for me to see the production numbers, but the Marcellus wells recently drilled in Indiana County look pretty good, and they have a lot of running room, they have 4 permits in hand for wells to be drilled, so reasonable activity

I'm not sure they will translate that easily. The Ohio Utica/Point Pleasant wells are much shallower than the Utica/Point Pleasant in Pennsylvania which are pretty deep. I think that is why they are taking their time and watching others continue to refine the deep Utica.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
