Any "projected production" table would simply be wild guessing. I look at production figures in my local area (within a 5 mile radius) and initial production results vary between 0.1 mmcf/day and 8.6 mmcf/day. Even wells at the same pad show major differences, in one case here one leg produces 4 times more than a leg drilled in the opposite direction. The ultimate unit size is also a major factor. While I do see that Ohio tends toward smaller units, most places consider 640 acres to be a pretty much default assumption.

Belmont County, Ohio has an active local group. You would probably do better posting there to get input from people with more knowledge of local conditions and resources from Ohio state such as production reports and unit information. This "Misc." discussion forum is somewhat of a backwater and does not draw a lot of views and traffic.
