9 New Shale Well Permits Issued for PA-OH-WV Oct 25-31

| | | | | | | | | | |
It was a pretty paltry week for new shale drilling permits in the Marcellus/Utica. Two weeks ago Pennsylvania issued 21 permits to drill new shale wells. They must have shot their wad because last week PA issued just two new permits--the lowest number in PA we've seen in...we can't remember how long. Ohio issued no new permits for Utica drilling last week...zero...goose egg. Only West Virginia held out some promise, issuing seven new permits for shale drilling last week.
