Canton, Massillon, Alliance, North Canton, Louisville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Stark County, Clinton oil and gas country with 2,400 producing wells.
Stark County is the Clinton sandstone at its most productive: nearly 3,000 wells, about 2,400 of them still producing, and close to 300,000 barrels of oil a year from those conventional wells. Most of it comes from one operator, OWS Acquisition in Louisville, which means a lot of Stark County royalty owners get the same envelope every month without knowing their neighbors do too.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 282,211 barrels of oil and 2,520,577 Mcf of gas from Stark County, with 2,928 wells reporting and 2,417 producing. OWS Acquisition had 1,331 producing wells and made 177,495 barrels and 1,266,538 Mcf, roughly half the county; Everflow Eastern, Ohio Valley Energy Systems, Sound Energy, Dorfman Production, Bocor Holdings, Pin Oak Energy Partners, Diversified Production, Petrox, William S Miller and Dover Atwood are the other names on checks. The Utica here is three EOG wells: EOG Ohio's Drevon 29-18-7 8H in Osnaburg Township, first produced in August 2012, reported 107 barrels and 11,271 Mcf in the second quarter of 2026, while the Frank Unit 2-H in Marlboro Township and EOG Resources' Soehnlen 2-9-9 8H in Bethlehem Township reported nothing. EOG closed its $5.6 billion purchase of Encino in 2025, so Encino and EAP Ohio leases in Stark County now sit with 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.
Stark County made 282,211 barrels of oil and 2.5 million Mcf in 2025 from about 2,400 conventional wells, more oil than Portage, Mahoning, Wayne or Holmes next door. OWS Acquisition of Louisville operates 1,331 of those wells.
EOG Ohio, the former Encino entity, holds three early horizontal wells here: Drevon 8H in Osnaburg Township, producing since 2012; Frank Unit 2-H in Marlboro Township, shut in; and Soehnlen 8H in Bethlehem Township, first produced in 2023 and reporting no production since.
