Youngstown, Canfield, Poland, Sebring, Lowellville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Mahoning County, where EOG's Ellsworth Township well reopened the northern Utica oil window in 2025.
Mahoning County was supposed to be done. Hilcorp drilled its Poland Township gas wells a decade ago, the rigs left, and the county went back to being two thousand Clinton wells and a lot of old leases. Then Encino drilled one horizontal well in Ellsworth Township in 2025, EOG bought Encino, and the well made more oil in three months than any Mahoning unit ever had. The Business Journal in Youngstown called it a new era of energy exploration in January 2026. The leasing agents have noticed; so should you.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 157,245 barrels of oil and 4,812,394 Mcf of gas from Mahoning County, with 2,212 wells reporting and 2,049 producing. EOG Ohio's Wehr Spring Valley Farm MH ELS 1H in Ellsworth Township, first produced July 9, 2025, made 65,469 barrels and 367,404 Mcf through year end and 15,339 barrels and 121,810 Mcf in the second quarter of 2026; the Business Journal reported on December 2, 2025 that it set the county record for single-unit oil over three months. Hilcorp's seven Poland Township Utica wells made 576,283 Mcf in 2025, and Northwood Energy and Pin Oak Energy Partners hold five smaller 2014 and 2015 horizontals in Ellsworth and Jackson Townships. On the conventional side, Everflow Eastern had 312 producing wells and made 807,218 Mcf, OWS Acquisition 465 wells and 746,378 Mcf, Eric Petroleum 355 wells and 695,094 Mcf, and Dorfman Production 245 wells and 37,304 barrels, with Ohio Valley Energy Systems and Diversified Production also on checks. EOG closed its $5.6 billion purchase of Encino in 2025, which is why EAP Ohio and Encino leases here now read EOG Ohio.
Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Ohio.
