not much so far-some research starting about a year and a half ago after being approached by land company then chesapeake. Dealings with them have been positive so far.
The earthquakes, that were caused by the injection wells, stirred up way too much protest. So I think, CHPK is just waiting for some time to pass before more permits are filed and more drilling begins in Mahoning County. Maybe, CHPK has more landowner / lease issues in Mahoning county. CNX is drilling the Hendricks well.
Going by "Permits Issued", CHPK certainly favors the Columbiana County -> Carroll County -> Harrison County areas as their core acreage, as of today. This could all change as more wells are drilled and the production results are analyzed.
Mahoning County has a higher population density and smaller parcels than Col, Car & Har counties, which can slow down the permitting and drilling process.
Lynn, I just uploaded a short video clip of a well flaring with sound if you are interested. It is not the best video, the sound is fine and was impressive in person. If you haven't heard one, Check my home page.
