Ohio natural gas shale production drops in first quarter
Wednesday, June 24, 2020
Ohio’s Utica and Marcellus shale wells produced almost 5% less natural gas in the first quarter of 2020 than was produced during the same quarter a year earlier, according to the Canton Repository.
Data from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources shows almost 582 billion cubic feet of natural gas was produced from the beginning of the year through March.
Additionally, 5.9 million barrels of oil was produced by unconventional wells — a 16% increase over 2019 — and 7.3 million barrels of salty wastewater or brine by unconventional wells.

Shale FAQ
What are mineral rights?
Mineral rights are the rights of the owner of the property to mine or produce any resources below the surface of the property. Mineral rights are different from surface rights.
Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
Maybe. It depends on your particular lease agreement. Some companies allow property owners a yearly free gas allowance. But, the process of connecting your property to the gas source may be more complicated. Some companies will provide a hookup, others require the landowner to provide one.
