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."

Drilling and permit map have been updated (twice this year).  This only shows the one permit in Tusc Co and the only well is not yet in production.  But there is activity.  Go to the following link and use the "+" to zoom in and left click and drag to move around. Smaller towns and back roads show up the more you zoom.

Column: Chesapeake trying to boost natural gas use

Thanks for the updates Jim. As skeptical as I am about CHK's future, I must say I was encouraged by CHK's recent report about their target zone. The biggest "thing" people have said about ODNR's maps is that they're vague and that the big drillers are the ones who have the TRUE data.  CHK and Anadarko's recent internal reports clearly show Tusc Co as in the BULLSEYE.  Good news for all of us in the county.
