Whats everybodys opinion on Anschutz Corporation of Colorado wnating to do Sesimic testing in the and around the Villiage of Carrollton, Ohio they will be using Conquest Sesmic Services to do there testing for them.
My family has 250 acres signed up on a three year with Anshutz. Seemed very interested and I am fairly certain they are targeting the Marcellus. We are in Carroll County by the Augusta area. There was seismic testing on rte. 9 through Augusta several months before the testing through Carrollton. West of Augusta, rte. 183, past Malvern, before Waynesburg, Great Lakes Energy ran seismic testing in August. With the amount of grid lines it appeared to be 3D seismic testing. Last week they started a well in the same area. I have been told that Great Lakes Energy is targeting the Marcellus for gas. That would be in Eastern Stark County. Has anyone heard the same?
We have had a lease on 441 acres in Brush Creek Twsp. and under Monroeville Ohio for many years. The original lease was with Belden & Blake and when Fortuna bought out some of those assets they renewed with us. B&B was targeting the Trenton Black River and Fortuna was interested in the same. I have been told that this area is a sweet spot for Marcellus Shale in Ohio. Keep us posted. If Fortuna doesn't move by next fall we will be looking for someone else to lease with. take care
Does anyone know if they are looking at testing or drilling in Knox County? I have 73 acres of land in the middle of oil/gas country, the eastern edge of Knox. There are low volume wells all around us.
I just received an offer of $200 per acre for 5 year lease in southern Mahoning County. The guys has stopped twice and called once. I plan to counter offer at around $6000.00/acre.
I have 50 acres along hwy 224 in Poland Township, about a mile from the Penn border. re leases being offered in this area and do you know the companies that are reputible and work with integrity. Thanks , Steve
Folks my office is full of clients who have been offered the moon and back. The drillers have the financing not the marketing brokers. I for one would love to guarantee a dollar figure, a higher royalty payment and a promise to you that you are doing the right thing. BUT I, NOR CAN ANYONE predict the future. What is real is real. Currently our clients total 13,820acres and we have not signed. We have offers from marketing agents as high as 1800.00 per acre and 18% royalities-and I have asked each of those marketing agents to WRITE the check. The answer is always the same, they can't//why not , because they have no money! We signed a few at $765.00, $500.00 and $900.00 and payment has been issued. I am still skeptical on the ceiling and I am willing to wait as the drilling information out of PA-and W.VA. can be analyzed. Facts are facts, and I want proof. If you have received a check for more than $1400.00 per acre in EASTERN OHIO I want to hear from you.

Research Strongly Encouraged Prior to Signing Drilling Lease
by Sean Logan, Director
Ohio Department of Natural Resources
As many property owners have learned, oil and gas drilling companies are seeking to lease the rights to drill on local private property. This is taking place throughout eastern Ohio. This new pursuit of leased rights reflects the oil and gas potential being found in the Marcellus Shale formation, which is located between 5,000-6,000 feet underground.
The Marcellus Shale formation has provided significant returns for companies drilling in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and the landowners they lease from. These companies are taking advantage of new technologies that enable them to access reserves that were, until recently, inaccessible. These companies anticipate similarly profitable returns from Ohio wells.
Landowners are concerned about their rights and responsibilities should they choose to lease or not to lease. Neighboring landowners are concerned about the impact on their land, water and quality of life.
In late June of this year, Senate Bill 165 was passed which strengthened oversight by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for the permitting, drilling and production of natural gas and oil wells in Ohio. The new laws enable ODNR to put more inspectors in the field to ensure Ohio's oil/natural gas laws are followed. Besides additional inspectors and oversight, the legislation also gave ODNR more tools for assuring that rules are followed, and provided new enforcement powers to deal with irresponsible drillers. We are now in a solid position to manage the rush of new activity, and to provide concerned citizens with a regulatory framework that promotes sound business and safe practices.
But landowners have their part to play. Per-acre price offers may seem high. Please do not let these offers cloud the evaluative process you need to take prior to signing any lease.
When in contact with drilling company representatives, landowners need to be diligent in their research prior to leasing their rights. Talk to your neighbors; research those companies requesting your mineral rights. Seek legal counsel knowledgeable in the leasing of oil and natural gas.
Up-front work in negotiating the lease is essential to the success of the agreement. Variables may include duration of the lease, the location of access roads, the placement of the wellhead and storage tanks, and other considerations. Remember you will not be able to change the terms of an oil and gas lease once signed.
The current interest in eastern Ohio is generally associated with drilling in the Marcellus Shale. But below the Marcellus lies the Utica Shale, a formation we are just learning about. The Utica represents a source of natural gas that may one day prove even larger than the Marcellus. And whatever lies below the Utica remains largely unknown. The point for landowners to remember is that a lease on your acreage may involve drilling only at Marcellus depths, it may include all mineral rights at any depth, or it may include some other combination of variables. Again, the advice of an expert is highly recommended.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR Web site at www.ohiodnr.com.
I contacted Talisman's Pittsburgh office regarding the lease they had with us. They informed that they have sold our lease to Chesapeake. They said that we should expect to hear from them soon regarding an extension of our lease.
Consol's quartely production report just out today. Gas production up 44% over same quarter last year. More information on the Jan 27th report. Do you suppose the Barnsville well has something to do with this spike in production.
As I am ust beginning to educate myself on gas play. What might be the amount of NG that could be pulled out of a decent producing well on a 640 acre parcel.
Just one more thing to worry about.. Just wanted to post for all to review...Rod

GREENBRIER, Ark. – The central Arkansas town of Greenbrier has been plagued for months by hundreds of small earthquakes, and after being woken up by the largest quake to hit the state in 35 years, residents said Monday they're unsettled by the increasing severity and lack of warning.
[Related: What is an earthquake swarm?]
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake at 11 p.m. Sunday, centered just northeast of Greenbrier, about 40 miles north of Little Rock. It was the largest of more than 800 quakes to strike the area since September in what is now being called the Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm.
The activity has garnered national attention and researchers are studying whether there's a possible connection to the region's natural gas drilling industry. The earthquake activity varies each week, though as many as nearly two dozen small quakes have occurred in a day.
"You don't know what to expect. It's unnerving," said Corinne Tarkington, an employee at a local flower and gift shop. "I woke up last night to the sound of my house shaking."
What woke Tarkington was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake that was also felt in Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi. No injuries or major damage have been reported, but the escalation in the severity of quakes in and around the small north-central Arkansas town has many residents on edge. Some said they're seeing gradual damage to their homes, such as cracks in walls and driveways.
"We probably had 40 to 50 calls last night," Greenbrier police Sgt. Rick Woody said, noting that the tone of the calls had changed. After pervious quakes, most callers simply wanted to find out if a loud noise they'd heard was an earthquake, he said.
"The fear had calmed down until last night," Woody said Monday. "People's biggest concerns (now) are whether or not these earthquakes are going to get any bigger."
Scott Ausbrooks, seismologist for the Arkansas Geological Survey, said Sunday's record quake was at the "max end" of what scientists expect to happen, basing that judgment on this swarm and others in the past. It's possible that a quake ranging from magnitude 5.0 to 5.5 could occur, but anything greater than that is highly unlikely, he said.
Ausbrooks said he plans to hold a town hall meeting in Greenbrier next month to address people's concerns.
"This quake actually scared folks," he said. "It lasted longer than a lot of the others did."
Ausbrooks said scientists continue to study whether there may be a connection between the earthquakes and local injection wells, where the natural gas industry pumps waste water that can no longer be used by drillers for hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing, or "fracking," involves injecting pressurized water to create fractures deep in the ground to help free the gas.
Geologists don't believe the fracturing is the problem, but possibly the injection wells.
A major source of the state's natural gas is the Fayetteville Shale, an organically-rich rock formation in north-central Arkansas. A six-month moratorium was established in January on new injection wells in the area to allow time to study the relationship — if any — between the wells and the earthquakes.
In Greenbrier, many residents are starting to notice gradual damage. Tarkington said her house has started to show cracks in ceilings and walls.
"You can see the wear and tear on our houses," she said. "I wish they'd go away."
Taylor Farrell, 29, a Greenbrier resident and employee at a local flea market, said a large crack formed in her driveway several months ago, and as the earthquakes continue, the crack has spread into her garage.
She said she and her husband had removed everything from the walls of their house, including family photos and television sets, because many photos had fallen in recent quakes.
"Other than that, there's really not much more you can do," she said. "It's Mother Earth. It's going to do what it's going to do. All we can do is wait for the big one and hope and pray it doesn't happen."
In Medina, Ashland and Wayne County there was a company named Quebec Energy that was leasing property to drill in the Utica Shale. They have now backed out of the area all together because landowners were wanting too much $$$ per acre for their leases. I think protecting your property is great but at what point do you draw the line? Either you want to be part of a well or you don't. The Utica Shale is completely unproven and folks are thinking that they should be getting the same money as those landowners in the Marcellus Shale which is a proven natural gas reserve. I think landowners need to reevaluate their situations and realize that the per acre bonus $$$ is not near as important as the royalty.. Just my opinion....
Quite right Greg. My company has drilled Clinton wells in NE Ohio since the 80's. It's hardly economical now paying the per acre money to explore anymore with the irrationality that has swept the state.
@ James Milleson above. Quebec Energy, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Land Services, Inc. out of Edmond, OK. You can visit Capital Land's website and see that under the Oil & Gas tab. Capital's website is clsgroup.com.
The number and strength of earthquakes in central Arkansas have noticeably dropped since the shutdown of two injection wells in the area, although a state researcher says it's too early to draw any conclusions.
"We have definitely noticed a reduction in the number of earthquakes, especially the larger ones," said Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey. "It's definitely worth noting."
The Center for Earthquake Research and Information recorded around 100 earthquakes in the seven days preceding the shutdown earlier this month, including the largest quake to hit the state in 35 years - a magnitude 4.7 on Feb. 27. A dozen of the quakes had magnitudes greater than 3.0. In the days since the shutdown, there have been around 60 recorded quakes, with only one higher than a magnitude 3.0. The majority were between magnitudes 1.2 and 2.8.
The two injection wells are used to dispose of wastewater from natural-gas production. One is owned by Chesapeake Energy, and the other by Clarita Operating. They agreed March 4 to temporarily cease injection operations at the request of the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission.
The commission said preliminary studies showed evidence potentially linking injection activities with nearly 1,000 quakes in the region over the past six months.
But Ausbrooks said it's too soon to tell if the decline in quakes is directly related to the injection well closures, adding that the drop could just be a normal low period of the swarm cycle.
"Either way, I wouldn't expect (the earthquakes) to quit immediately," he said. "If there is a relationship, the seismic activity could go on for weeks, months or even years."
Chesapeake Energy has said it does not believe there is a connection between the injection wells and the area's seismic activity.
A six-month moratorium on new injection wells in the area took effect in January to allow time to determine what relationship, if any, there is between the wells and the earthquakes.
The Fayetteville Shale, an organically-rich rock formation underlying the region, is a major source of natural gas in Arkansas. Drillers free up the gas by using hydraulic fracturing or "fracking," which requires injecting pressurized water to create fractures deep in the ground. The two injection wells at issue dispose of "frack" water when it can no longer be re-used by injecting it into the ground.
The state's Oil and Gas Commission will reconsider the issue at a meeting March 29 when both sides will get to testify.
There are over 170 injection wells in Ohio and many have been in long before the 70's. So with the Ark logic Ohio should have been having substantial earthquakes over these many many years.
When a goal is to stop domestic energy, everything is a culprit. Did you know the Moon was the closest to Earth is has been in 18 years Saturday? It's because all the fraCKing chemicals over these years from Halliburton has increased our gravitational field pulling the moon closer to Earth everyday. We are doomed if we do not stop this process, unless the comet gets us first.
See, I too am an expert and scientist! - with an agenda
I didn't write the story...I posted it in response to a previous post about earthquakes. I thought it was relevant to the dialouge taking place here. Maybe this is not the forum to post facts. God Forbid someone who wants to consider all the ramifications of our actions.
The same thing happened to me when i posted the video GASLAND, and i noted before the video that it is only being posted for everybody's information, and to bring to light the problems of the past, and how important out water really is to each one of us. I got blasted by a few for being a tree huger, and against drilling, but in the end I think it was worth the post, and the message got across. And yes i was the one that also posted the earthquake info about a month ago for the same reason. But in the end it is all worth it to have a WIN-WIN for both the property owners and the leasing companies.
We have a informative meeting on April 2, at 2:00 at the Twin City Gun Sportsman Club on Garner Road, for the neighbors of Franklin Township. We have a few guest speakers, and still waiting to see if State Representative Al Landis can attend and give us some updates from the state level. All are invited.
I think you guys misunderstood me, I know you're bringing industry related articles to the forum, which is good. There is just a lot of bogus propaganda out there and I was illustrating the absurdity of the articles theory with absurdity. Again, no slight at you, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I posted a brief that I filed yesterday in the Ohio Supreme Court on the GoMarcellus but I'm not sure that this means it was also posted on this Ohio site. The brief is on the subject of the deduction of expenses on gas royalties. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me whether it was posted here. Thank you. Robert C. Sanders

GREENBRIER, Ark. – The central Arkansas town of Greenbrier has been plagued for months by hundreds of small earthquakes, and after being woken up by the largest quake to hit the state in 35 years, residents said Monday they're unsettled by the increasing severity and lack of warning.
