• Citrus Energy - owned leases but sold them to Williams (see below)
• Williams who picked up the Citrus leases and have three well sites planned:
  • On the Farver and Campbell farms in Benton
  • The Martin site in Sugarloaf Township
• Chief Oil & Gas - had several wells planned with drilling to begin in 2011. These included ones on the Niedzwiecki farm on Route 118 in Sugarloaf Township and the Remley farm in Jackson Township.
