Don't Let Fracking's Detractors Ruin
Ohio's Chance....
I've been in the oil and gas industry
for more than 20 years, and I know Ohio
is on the cusp of something great. Just
look at the scores of companies that
have already invested millions of
dollars to explore the state's Utica
Shale. Energy exploration is very
expensive and not something done on a
lark. These companies are here because
they know the Utica is important to
America's energy future.

The Road to Find New Energy Sources
Leads to Medina County
Ohio has a
150-year history of drilling for oil and
natural gas, but advancements in
technology and extraction methods are
sparking an increase in discovery. We've
been drilling for 150 years in Ohio;
what's different is the technology. It's
changed tremendously, said Rhonda Reda,
executive director of the Ohio Oil and
Gas Energy Education Program. Companies
are looking to tap into potential oil
and natural gas in the Utica and
Marcellus shales, located approximately
6,000 feet underground mostly in New
York and Pennsylvania, Reda said.

Don't Be Swayed By Faucets On Fire and

The New York Times recently published a
deplorable piece of reporting addressing hydraulic fracturing. The
article demonstrates the serious risks
from uninformed regulatory intrusion
that the U.S. natural gas industry will
continue to face until government
regulators stand up and defend the
science supporting this well studied
process. While I doubt that the
Times will publish either my submitted
letter to the editor or the open letter
below, I thought it was important that
readers of more reputable outlets have

A Byesville Oil, Gas Man Has Pioneered a
New Gas Well in Ohio
ST. CLAIRSVILLE --
A Byesville, oil and gas man has
pioneered a new gas well in Ohio. In
Belmont County, David Hill has
supervised the drilling of a well --
13,727 feet deep."That makes it the
deepest well ever drilled in Ohio," he
said. "We didn't have the technology to
go this deep just a few short years
ago," he said. It's a pioneering effort,
but Hill is equally proud of the way it
was done -- safely."We drilled and were
totally incident free," he said. Hill
and his investor partners expect to
have, by Feb. 1, results of testing to
indicate whether the well, dubbed the
Georgetown Marine No. 1, will be a
productive well."I'm cautiously
optimistic," he said...

NEWSMAKER Q&A State a natural for growth
in oil, natural-gas wells
Q: From
hollowed-out tree trunks to where things
are today, how far has the technology
come -- and where is it going?
A: Right now, we're drilling a
lot of wells. You've heard of Marcellus
and Utica shale's. We've drilled through
those formations for years. But up until
about 10 or 15 years ago, we didn't
actually have the technology to release
the oil that is trapped -- and the gas
that is trapped -- in those shales.
So we've gone from hollowed-out
tree trunks to very, very sophisticated,
complex wells that are able to extract a
natural resource from a rock that we
didn't even think was capable of
producing (oil or natural gas)...

Driller Hopes to

David Hill hopes
to eventually reach the 13,000- to
14,000-foot range. If he achieves such
depth, the well will be the Buckeye
State's deepest, as the Ohio Department
of Natural Resources website shows the
current record at 11,442 feet for a
Noble County well drilled in 1967. In
addition to the Marcellus Shale, Hill
said this projected depth would allow
him to break into the Clinton Sandstone
and Utica Shale, which also contain
natural gas...

Ohio Must Tap Natural Gas
For economic

capitalize on its vast reserves of

eastern Ohio is underlain by shale
formations like the Marcellus Shale and
Utica Shale, and by several coals
seams...
