15 New Utica Shale Permits Issued as Number Passes 850

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources approved 15 new permits for drilling in the Utica shale last week, according to the latest report.

The usual leader in permitting is nowhere to be found on the latest report, as none of the new approvals are for Carroll County.

There were 5 new permits for Noble County, 4 for Harrison County, 3 for Columbiana County, 2 for Washington County, and 1 for Guernsey County.

This latest round of permitting brings the total number of horizontal permits to 858.  514 wells have been drilled, 125 are producing, and the Utica rig count is 36.
