Ohio Utica 1Q25 Production – Top O&G Wells, Drillers, Counties

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) recently released production numbers for the first quarter of 2025. The top natural gas producer in the state, by far, was Ascent Resources, with 195,139,574 Mcf (or 195.14 Bcf) of production during the quarter, which works out to an average of 2.17 Bcf/d. Ascent's production accounted for 40% of the state's natural gas production. The top oil producer in the state, by far, was Encino Energy, with 5,360,199 barrels of oil during the quarter, which works out to an average of 59,557 barrels per day. Encino's oil production was 49% (nearly half!) of Ohio's entire oil production during 1Q25. Of course, Encino's days as a standalone producer are numbered as EOG Resources is buying the company.
