Is there wet gas in Mahoning County
It seems like all the action is down south, That has me thinking Mahoning County is not what they thought. Has anybody heard anything about Mahoning County?

There have only been 4 horizontal wells drilled in Mahoning Co. One very early well by Chesapeake that was only about 2400 ft. in length. Consol has drilled three horizontal wells one about 3000 ft and two at about 6000. None of these wells are in production and only one is far enough along to have any initial production data. That being the early "exploratory" well by Chesapeake. I don't think there is enough data to know what production will be like in Mahoning Co. But I think with the amount of lease $$$ that were and still are being spent we will know what is under us in the next few years. Slow process...little or no infrastructure and millions of acres to be drilled.

From the Youngstown Vindicator:
ELLSWORTH TOWNSHIP — One of the first new horizontal gas and oil wells to be drilled in Mahoning County in recent years has started to produce gas and oil at is well pad along state Route 45 (Salem-Warren Road) and Leffingwell Road west of Canfield.
Karina Cheung, public information officer for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said the well was drilled in early May, and “hydraulic stimulation operations,” also known as hydraulic fracturing, took place between June 9 and June 15.
The Wehr Spring Valley Farm well is now producing gas and oil, Cheung said. It is new enough that the latest ODNR oil and gas production report does not list the well’s production numbers. The report is for the first and second quarters of 2025, ending June 30.
We will see some results in early December.
