Things are heating up in Trumbull County and this is the place to talk about it. The Utica is looking more promising and, for better or worse, Trumbull County could be right in the middle of it.
Three wells sold in the land of "goat pasture". Halcon now owns the Buckeye in Hartford, and Two others that sold belong to ?? Only sure of the Buckeye as I drove by there today. Lennington and Zerovitch perhaps? Anyone know for sure and who now owns them? Quite interesting considering all the negativity there has been about the north for a long time. Snort - care to add some input? Anyone?

more news on the bp morrison well. bp gave the landowner the drill pad so bp did not have to reclaim the pad, gave the landowner 100,000 so they did not have to reclaim it. bp is gone they will not resign the lease's. i have asked them to release my property and they told me they will just leave the lease run its course, they are not spending one dollar in ohio. they are gone and will not be back. they have oil in deep south and the oil is in the country and they have no fracking problems. the people bitched and the oil companies gave up on this area because of the negative attitude of the public. halcon left and said they will not drill here because of the people and government problems, they will not rebuild our roads. they said it is not worth the expence, the wells are not that good to spend 10 million dollars to drill.
i am glad they are gone, all i seen was my taxes to go up from politians. stay out bp and halcon we do not need you. the oil companies are rapists of the land and land owners pockets, people went nuts thinking they would be oil barrens and the politicals wanted all the money, lol that is why big oil left. greed gets you no where.
i am glad the moron politicals chased the oil rapists out of ohio. you can read how the oil rapists have screwed land owners. ohio politians are to stupid on oil, there needs to be more laws to protect the land owner before any more oil companies come into ohio.
each zone in the ground should be separate. no one should have total control of all minerals. when the government thinks of the land owners and making money from oil drillers, and make the laws to control them, then let them come back to ohio.
the west has more oil than all the world and obama and the government owns it all. that is where most the money comes from for the government to spend there trillions of dollars.
so law makers do your job and make sure the land owners of ohio and other states are safe from oil rapers.

Hoping we don't see a lot of Forced Pooling Applications to the ODNR to pool lands / landowners into substandard tailgate leases. That's always been of serious concern to me - and don't know why it doesn't seem so to everyone else.
That's why I think Ohio needs to either revise force pooling rules to provide a modern land / landowner cognizant Leasehold with a minimum $3,000 / acre sign on bonus / paid up front delay rental and at least a 12.5% guaranteed royalty - or repeal force pooling / force unitization laws / rules altogether.
Something like that would need to be applied to all Ohio forced pooling / forced unitization applications for any long horizontal bore in any strata / for all pooled acreage amounts - HBP or whatever.
All as it always is, only IMHO
