8 New Shale Well Permits Reported for PA-OH-WV Aug 3 – 9
The Marcellus/Utica region received 8 new drilling permits last week, August 3 - 9, down 7 from two weeks ago. Pitiful. (Cue Linda Ronstadt's "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me") It's actually a little worse than that. Two weeks ago, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources didn’t issue a report. One of the Ohio permits from last week is actually from two weeks ago. Pennsylvania only issued 2 new permits, Ohio issued 6 (5 new + 1 tardy), and West Virginia was a big, fat goose egg. The drillers who received new permits were: Apex Energy (4), Ascent Resources (1), EOG Resources (1), and Expand Energy (2).To view this content, log into your member account. (Not a member?
