Ashtabula County leasing

I have a parcel of land outside of Orwell.  I live outside of Salem, OH (right on the Mahoning/Columbiana line) and leased last year with Chesapeake. Has anyone leased land in Ashtabula with Chesapeake yet?  I talked to Buckeye Mineral Development (formally ALOV group who signed around 60,000 acres to Chesapeake this year in Mahoning and Columbiana counties) and they informed me that they are taking names to form a Trumbull/Ashtabula County group.  I believe they already have 80,000 acres in Trumbull.  The gentleman informed me that hopefully they could put the acreage out for bid soon, pending enough acreage.  Has anyone joined this group (http://www.alov.us/) in Ashtabula County? I am thinking of joining, but wanted to make sure there are no other groups to consider first.  I heard Chesapeake bought some existing leases in Ashtabula County and I know, via the DNR website, they just pulled a permit to drill a well in Ashtabula County.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks.

What does it mean when they pull the permit? Does it mean they changed their minds and are not interested in areas this far north?

It means the state issued them a permit to drill in Ashtabula County.  You can view all the permits issued at this link:  http://ohiodnr.com/oil/shale/tabid/23174/Default.aspx.    Go to "utica shale - ohio activity"..........it is in PDF format.  It shows the drilling site to be in Richmond township.  Page 4 of the PDF shows the latitude/longitude coordinates.  You can then punch those coordinates in Google Earth and it will show you the exact drilling site.  All of the geo. maps show the shale extending well into Ontario, and from what I've read drilling is heavy in that region.  Can't imagine there is much of a difference between Trumbull or Mahoning Counties and Ashtabula County.

Marcus, What kind of deal do you know?

$5,800 & 20% is the whisper number.  But who knows at this point?  Rumors abound.

I hope your right. That sounds about what it should be but who knows.

I am not aware of any ALOV deal in Ashtabula. Can you shed some light
