New Well Permit Issued for Columbiana County
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has awarded another horizontal drilling permit for Columbiana County for oil and gas exploration in the Utica shale.
A permit was issued July 2 for Houston-based Sierra Resources LLC, which wants to drill a well at the Kiko farm in Butler Township.
Also last week, Chesapeake Energy was issued two permits for horizontal wells in Carroll County, the most active county in Ohio for Utica shale exploration. The permits were issued for the Lucas and Colescott properties in Loudon Township.
ODNR also issued a permit for Hess Ohio Development LLC to drill a well in Guernsey County's Oxford Township.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection did not issue new horizontal drilling permits last week for either Lawrence or Mercer counties.
