Check at your county recorders. Im not sure if they are required by law to record the unit declaration, but I know some companies do. This document will have a list of each property owner in the unit.

Also why not just call A.E.U. and ask them ?

Here is the unit map for one of the Eggleston wells (off Easton Road).

http://apps.ohiodnr.gov/mineral/oil/MRMImages/17/9/329549.pdf

The other well pad is the Shipman.  All wells from both pads are going South East so none of the wells are going under I-70.

The units for the Shipman wells are not shown.

Don't expect the gas /oil company to contact you, you won't hear from them until you get a division order. Just like everything else dealing with the gas/oil companies, you have to be pro active and be your own best advocate. That is also where this site helps all of us help each other. The ODNR web site really helps, but you have to know how to use it, which can be difficult at times if you aren't computer literate. Hope you're in the unit!! Remember, don't expect the oil company to notify you of anything, they feel the less you know the better.

Here is how to operate the ODNR Well locator.  I wrote this to a woman in Noble County - just substitute Guernsey for Nobel.

Mary,

Here is how to find the maps.  Sorry for the length.

(Note: The ODNR application can have problem sometimes.)

 

Go here:

http://oilandgas.ohiodnr.gov/well-information/oil-gas-well-locator

Note: Click = left click mouse

Click the “Launch the Oil and Gas Well Locator” bar.

Click through the disclaimer page (you can opt to permanently skip this page).

When the map of Ohio appears with county outlines, double click on Noble County (find the shape as there are no names at this zoom level) which zooms you in one level, the county names will appear.  Move your cursor (pointer) over Noble County, press and hold down your left mouse button (cursor turns into a hand) and move Nobel County to the middle of the screen, release the left button.  You can use the “hand” to move around anytime.

Continue to zoom in on your location using the mouse wheel.  Use the hand to center your location as you zoom in.

At the fourth zoom level the well horizontals will be displayed as straight lines with arrow ends originating from a colored dot.  Your well pad is the orange dot in Beaver Township with the five wells all going South East and no wells going North East.  Use the hand to center your well pad, put you pointer on the pad and zoom in six more level.  Allow the map to completely redraw at each zoom level.  Five numbered wellheads will be displayed.

There are eight symbols in the white bar at the top.  As you scroll over them their function is displayed.  Click the small “i” (Identity Window).  An Identity Window dialog box appears.  In the dialog box there is an “Identify from” rectangular box.  Click the arrow at the right of the box and then select “Well Search” with a click.

Now, put the point of your arrow in the center of the left most Wellhead dot (24484) and click.  In the box that appears click “Well Summary Report Link”.  When that window opens up, scroll down to see a list of clickable .pdf files.  Click on one of the ones named PLATMAPS – those are the maps for this well.

 

You can also start from the “magnifying glass” Search Window in the top white bar but you will still have to follow most of the steps detailed above.

I hope this helps.

Phil
