Columbiana County, OH (western) 2026 news?

Has anyone heard any chatter  with EOG owning EAP's area,   the grove, Sanor and Kitzmiller seemed to have had good results.   Williams pipeline  had got an easement for a "new franklin" connector about a 1.5 year ago and was surveyed and nothing happened with that and Williams had bought some land for a compression station  in Butler/ Hanover township but I hadn't seen anymore with that. in Knox township I've seen INR Ohio pick up a few leases, but cant imagined these are super large parcels

The guy from Brightrock energy told me they want to drill a few wells in this area. They have signed quite a few leases and I think they will have to partner with del rio some how to get enough land for a unit.

I don't know how accurate the EOG acreage maps in public are, but it looks like the North Central part of Columbiana County does not display much EOG acreage, so this area might be a target (plus we've seen some other comments on here about activity in this area.

Did anyone notice they already finished drilling the grove SE well already . Pretty sure rig was setup and drilling around 4/3 or 4/4. Drive past this afternoon and the rig is gone. Seems pretty fast . Did they drill that quick or not finish the laterals ?

I thought it was done sooner than the others also  and they went longer in length then most in the area.  The rig was still up in the AM on 4/19 and was laid down that evening.  They are already rolling out the water hose.  it was a Patterson-UTI Rig, same as who drilled for EAP,

Maybe it’s all the new technology they are using. Any idea where they moved it too. Haven’t saw any new permits come through for any new wells yet. Think they are getting closer with the whiteleather well on tower rd.

I had looked on the rig locator and didnt really see any other patterson-uti rigs nearby, didnt lok like Patterson rigs in malvern are so idk.  I've not seen any progress on the tower rd pad, since the surface use was filed.

Rumor is they want to drill a well on Shelton Rd. right around hartley rd which is about 1 mile south of 62

this is where Bright Rock Energy thinks the hottest spot is.

I suspect eastern Monroe and Belmont Counties are the sweet spots for Natural Gas and are stacked plays for Marcellus wet/condensate, thus the reported high lease rates as reported here.  That said, Bright Rock is focused on Oil, and thus their view of the best areas.  I would say that the map may be too far west (in particular Guernsey County).  One interesting thing is that elsewhere on this site a small firm is leasing in the western side of Mahoning County, and people did not like the offers, maybe they are right in their hesitance to agree to the lease terms (2k and 16%).  EOG is forming a block in Stark County, so maybe we will have a better idea of the prospects there.

Interestingly this map ends just south of the 2 townships the Mahoning County guys ( Frio Resource)  were specifically targeting.

good find, I normally dont read through all those, looks like the unit will a long one.   The only thing I wonder is its listing that as a "North" unit.  that would normally mean the well pad would be towards  St. Rt 9
