Robert,

Try using the ODNR Oil and Gas Well Viewer: https://gis.ohiodnr.gov/website/dog/oilgasviewer/

Zoom in on the well that you are interested in and then use the Identify button to get a link to the plat maps.

A new Markwest joint venture is coming to our area. Does anyone have an idea of its location? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/markwest-energy-energy-minerals-group...

Ivy, I don't think that ODNR reports which properties are in a drilling unit during the permit stage but you could identify properties that are within 500ft of the vertical and horizontal legs of a given well pad and assume that those properties are in the unit. Ohio O&G regs require the driller to have leases/drilling units that encompass all property within 500 feet of the well bore. A single horizontal well with a 5000 foot long horizontal leg would require a rectangular unit no less than 1000 feet wide by 5000 feet long plus a 500ft radius semicircle at each end or about 133 acres. The driller may expand the unit to a greater size in order to hold additional leases by production for future drilling to the extent that those properties allow for larger unit size such as 640 or 1280 acres.

Once the well has been drilled and a completion report is filed with ODNR you can see the plat map of the well's unit that shows the landowners in and around it.

Here's the address for Chesapeake's Buell well that shows the configuration for that well.

Here's the address for the plat map of Gulfport's 6-well Boy Scout wellsite

You will see that the horizontal legs for all wells follow the same parallel pattern and direction. That is to take advantage of the existing fracture configuration of the Utica/Pt. Pleasant formations.

Where can I go to find out if anyone around me is in a drilling unit? I understand some of my neighbors are, but we havent heard anything. I've been looking on the ODNR website but so far I havent found anything. I am looking in Harrison County, Ohio. Thank you.

Dan, they are leased with Antero Resources. There is a well going in on their neighbors adjoining property.They have just over 100 acres and the buyer of the minerals is wanting 65 acres worth.That is what I know so far . He is supposed to get back with me when he finds out more details .I'll keep you posted.

Scott, was that $14k offer for land that was already in a drilling unit and scheduled to be drilled soon?  I ask because I know someone who is partially in a unit that is planned to be drilled in the spring, and for the portion that is in that unit they have an offer for $14k/acre, but not as high for the acreage outside that unit.  I hadn't heard of an offer that high yet, but I figured that a lot more of the risk is taken out (both the risk of whether the property will be drilled, and the question of how long it will take to get a return) in this situation so the mineral buyer was comfortable going with a higher offer.

Ronald, I was able to click on and identify the small 1/2 acre parcels in New Athens.

I did use the ODNR map the properties that have names and acres on them our twenty acres or more than mine was just curious as to why the smaller parcels had not been listed as of yet thanks for the reply..i have 34.400 acers.
