"We will be drilling in April and we hope that the rocks show us some very good things for this area."Thomas emphasized BP is keeping to its strategy of developing acreage it holds in Trumbull County, just as other energy companies are pulling out and repositioning their assets to potentially more lucrative areas of the state.On Monday, Carrizo Oil & Gas of Houston announced it sold for $43 million 19,000 acres of leasehold positions in Trumbull County, as well as Mercer and Crawford counties in Pennsylvania.
