8 New Shale Well Permits Issued for PA-OH-WV Nov 24 – 30

The number of new permits issued in the Marcellus/Utica from November 24 – 30 was a paltry 8, down from 23 issued the prior week. We typically issue these weekly permit updates on Fridays, but last Friday, the PA DEP website, where we extract information, threw an error, so we delayed until today. This morning the PA DEP site shows only a single permit was issued during that period, so we don't know whether there are still data problems. For now, we're going with the information as it is (and will recheck it later this week). So, given that proviso, Pennsylvania issued 1 new permit, down 22 from the prior week. Ohio got skunked, issuing no new permits for the second week in a row. Hey ODNR, wake up! West Virginia issued 7 new permits, down from issuing 10 permits the prior week.
