"Other counties with permits are Tuscarawas (seven)"

"The company (CHK) has boosted the number of drilling rigs in Ohio from five to eight this year.  It may have as many as 20 rigs in Ohio by late 2012 and 40 by 2014, the company said."

"Ohio is expecting as many as 4,000 wells drilled into the Utica shale in the next four years as more rigs are moved into the state. Site preparation takes three to four weeks. Drilling takes three to five weeks more. Fracturing a well takes seven to 10 days."
