Ohio

From Wikimarcellus

The neighboring State of Ohio is not nearly as prospective for Marcellus shale as Pennsylvania or West Virginia, but nevertheless 16 permits were issued in 2008 for Marcellus wells.

Monroe was the most active County in Ohio in 2008 with 75 wells of all kinds drilled. Most of these were drilled to the Ohio shale. The other two most active counties were the urbanized counties of Cuyahoga with 69 wells and 67 wells for Geauga.

The regulator of natural gas drilling in Ohio is the Ohio Division of Mineral Resources Management.
