The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper has provided very informative data on shale gas wells in Eastern Ohio, as shown below:
Permits have been issued for more than 100 wells in Eastern Ohio for the purpose of drilling into Utica or Marcellus shale 3,000 feet or more below the surface.
Most of these well sites still are not active, but at least 34 either have been drilled or are the site of current drilling, a state update on the permits from early January shows.
Permits were issued, but not yet active, for 75 locations.
The largest share of the well locations is in Carroll County, with 38 permitted locations. There were 15 in Jefferson County and 10 in Columbiana County, in the latest update.
Use this map to find the locations of permits on record with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in early January 2012.
