16 New Shale Well Permits Issued for PA-OH-WV May 13 – 19

Permits issued in the Marcellus/Utica continue to bounce up and down. One month ago, there were 26 new permits in the M-U for a one-week period. Three weeks ago, 16 new permits were issued. Two weeks ago, just ten new permits were issued. And last week, May 13-19, the number increased to 16, but only because of Pennsylvania. Range Resources scored seven new permits in PA last week, all in Washington County. EQT (and its subsidiary Rice Drilling) received six new permits last week, mostly in Fayette County, PA (with one in Washington County, PA). Southwestern Energy received three permits to drill in Brooke County, WV. Ohio issued no new permits last week.
