Even as the number of drilling rigs working in the US drops to a six-year low amid low natural gas prices, well sites continue popping up in to reach the Utica Shale formation in Belmont, Monroe and Harrison counties.
One company that keeps working in Ohio is Consol Energy, which reported record natural gas production of more than 1 billion cubic feet per day from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31.
