Ravenna, Kent, Streetsboro, Aurora, Garrettsville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Portage County, Clinton oil and gas country north of the Utica.
Portage County is suburban Akron on one side and Clinton oil country on the other, and the two overlap more than the subdivisions suggest. More than 2,200 wells report to ODNR from here, about 1,900 of them producing, which makes Portage one of the most consistently paying conventional counties in Ohio and one where a lot of royalty owners live within a few miles of their well without knowing where it is.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 175,558 barrels of oil and 2,298,786 Mcf of gas from Portage County, with 2,219 wells reporting and 1,899 producing. Diversified Production had 495 producing wells and made 40,849 barrels and 647,763 Mcf; OWS Acquisition 468 wells and 37,207 barrels; and Pin Oak Energy Partners, PEP Drilling, Equity Oil and Gas Funds, Bocor Holdings, Everflow Eastern and Beck Oil and Gas fill out the checks. The county's three horizontal wells, Holbrook's Soinski 99-04-06 201 and 202 in Windham Township and Northwood Energy's Asher in Rootstown Township, together reported 303 barrels and 39,863 Mcf in the second quarter of 2026. No 2025 or 2026 Utica permits in Portage County appear in the ODNR reports we opened.
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.
Portage County made 175,558 barrels of oil and 2.3 million Mcf in 2025 from about 1,900 conventional wells. Diversified and OWS Acquisition each run roughly 500 of them.
Three early horizontals, Holbrook's two Soinski wells in Windham Township and Northwood's Asher well in Rootstown, have produced since 2013. ODNR's 2026 quarterly report shows no newer Utica wells in the county.
