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.

Two very different answers in one county. A fraction of a Clinton well under Everflow, Eric Petroleum or OWS Acquisition is a steady conventional gas royalty priced off its decline. Acreage in the western townships near EOG's Ellsworth well is a different question, because one well that made 65,000 barrels in six months changes what undrilled minerals nearby might be worth, and that is a number we will reason through with you rather than guess. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. Can I be put in a horizontal unit without signing a lease? Yes. Ohio develops horizontal wells mainly through unitization under R.C. 1509.28: once owners of at least 65 percent of the land over the pool consent, the applicant can obtain a unit order from the Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management that sweeps in the rest, and the order sets the terms for nonconsenting owners. If a unit application or hearing notice arrives, send it to us and we will read it with you, free. Can I lose Ohio mineral rights I have not done anything with? Yes, two ways, and neither needs a court. Under the Dormant Mineral Act, R.C. 5301.56, a surface owner can reclaim a severed mineral interest that has had no saving event in 20 years by serving notice, and you then have 60 days to record a claim to preserve. Under the Marketable Title Act, 40 years after the surface owner's root of title with no recorded saving event, the interest can be extinguished with no notice at all; the Ohio Supreme Court confirmed in West v. Bode (2020) that both routes apply. If nothing has been recorded in your name in decades, record a claim to preserve before you do anything else. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing.
