Diversified Gas & Oil has reached a $3.1 million agreement to buy oil and natural gas wells and pipelines in Ohio from NGO Development Corp., according to The Columbus Dispatch. NGO Development Corp. is a subsidiary of the Energy Cooperative, a rural-electric cooperative utility based in Newark.
In the deal, Diversified Gas & Oil has acquired about 550 wells in Coshocton County and six other counties, including Fairfield and Licking. The wells acquired are conventional wells, which have smaller outputs than horizontal shale wells.
The sale closed on Nov. 30. NGO Development is using the proceeds to pay down debt.

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.
