ODNR website will have the permits which should include plat maps of all the locations.

Ok, I see the maps on the ODNR website, but I can't seem to find a key telling me what colors mean what, and I have no idea what the long arrows coming off of some wells are. Across the street from my land there are large tracts.  I see gray wells and pink wells with lines through them.  No idea if these will have anything to do with my land.  Any thoughts on how I can tell what's what?

Arrows coming off of a well indicate the path of the horizontal well bore.  Lines through wells generally mean plugged, and the colors indicate their status (i.e. active, shut in, domestic, et al).  What's the name of the wells closest to you?

No names, just numbers.  The closest one is 60642.  It appears to be a storage well, and there are a few others right there as well, 60643 and 60644.  The closest active well is 21589.

The wells have names, you just have to click on them to find out what they are.  Send me a private message with a township and section number and I'll get you whatever information you need.

Who are you leased with? If you were in a unit you should receive a declaration of pooled unit. The wells in Poland are all by the same company Hilcorp. There are two pads there six wells each. I believe the entire unit is on property owned by Carbon Limestone Landfill. Wells are named CLL1 and CLL2. Company picks well name usually based on landowner with pad on their property.

On the well finder map you were viewing choose the i at the top to identify features then click on the circle. As someone mentinoed already the "arrows" are laterals off that pad. The five digits you see are the last five digits of api well no. The beginning digits are state, county etc identifiers.

The best way to watch for activity in your area is to familiarize yourself with shale activity page on odnr. Each week new permits are posted. You can then look at county, township, driller, to see whats in your area. Latitude and longitude are also on there so if you see anything that is in your township just type the latitude, longitude in google maps to see where pad will be. Dont forget comma and negative number for long. Once you have something you think is probable you can check recorders office to see if declaration has been filed. We had in our lease a copy was to be mailed to us. I cannot confirm that all companies notify all landowners in the unit but I think they do.
