Ohio Utica counties
Columbiana County, Ohio, located in the northern part of the Utica Shale play in the state, was an early target for Aubrey McClendon (then-CEO of Chesapeake Energy). Aubrey was right about the Utica being “the biggest thing to hit Ohio since the plow.” But he was wrong about where the most productive wells would be located, which is further south in the play. Still, there's money to be made in the northern Utica, and companies like Encino Energy (which now owns Chesapeake's Ohio assets) and Hilcorp continue to drill in Columbiana.
