 A vertical well can be put placed just about anywhere! When you speak vertical they are every where. In the Ohio map thread a much appreciated effort was made by BICS that shows well locations all over Eastern Ohio that can be displayed upon google earth. 

  According to the ODNR when I called, a verticle well can be placed upon as little as 40 acres. The output of such a well would be severely limited in production so it would not be practical in comparison to a Horizontal well. 

  Put on a pot of coffee oops make that barrels of coffee and read the threads here, you'll learn. 

Here is a good animated video you can view which rather explains why a vertical well is not very practical when you see the difference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYQcSz27Xp8

Yes, but a truck or two has to be able to get on to the property first.

 Where there is a will to do it it can be done if it weren't for politicians.

Very shallow wells (think Berea formation) can be placed on a minimum 20 acre drilling unit.

Bulldozers can go anywhere.
