Noble County sits in the Utica condensate and volatile oil window, producing roughly 774,000 barrels of oil and 11.5 million Mcf of gas in a recent quarter, fourth in Ohio for oil.

The most immediate thing for an owner here is that the county has changed hands. Antero sold its Ohio Utica upstream position, roughly 150 million cubic feet equivalent a day, to Infinity Natural Resources and Northern Oil and Gas for $800 million, effective July 2025 and closing in the first quarter of 2026. Payor confusion and interrupted checks are widespread in Noble County right now because of it. If your check stopped, changed format, or came from a name you do not recognize, that is the first thing to check and it is usually not a problem with your interest.

Infinity now operates roughly 137 active wells, with Ascent and EOG also present. Noble also hosts a concentration of Class II saltwater disposal wells serving the play, which appears in surface and injection rights title work.

Underneath the modern development sits a very deep conventional legacy: roughly 8,300 wells drilled against only about 212 producing. That old population drives heavy Dormant Mineral Act and orphan well analysis, and it means many severed interests here have had nothing recorded against them for decades. In Ohio that is dangerous, because R.C. 5301.56 and the Marketable Title Act are independent routes for a surface owner to take a severed interest. Record a claim to preserve.

Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value.

Questions

## Straight answers for Noble County owners

My Noble County royalty check stopped or changed. What happened?
Very likely an ownership change rather than a problem. Antero sold its Ohio Utica upstream position to Infinity Natural Resources and Northern Oil and Gas for $800 million, effective July 2025 and closing in the first quarter of 2026. Payor confusion and interrupted checks are widespread in Noble County right now as a result. Send us the old and new statements and we will read them and tell you whether anything is actually wrong.

Who operates in Noble County now?
Infinity Natural Resources operates roughly 137 active wells, Ascent Resources Utica about 31, and EOG Resources about 27, out of six operators total and roughly 212 active wells. Noble also has a concentration of Class II saltwater disposal wells serving the broader play, which shows up in surface and injection rights title work.

There are 8,300 wells drilled in this county but only 212 producing. Why?
Because Noble has a very deep shallow conventional legacy underneath the modern Utica development. That old well population drives heavy Dormant Mineral Act analysis and orphan well issues, and it means a lot of severed interests here have had nothing recorded against them in a very long time. Under R.C. 5301.56 and the Marketable Title Act, both confirmed as independent mechanisms in West v. Bode, those interests are at genuine risk of being taken by the surface owner.
