[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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?

Usually more than owners expect for a conventional county, because Stark's Clinton wells are oily and there are a lot of them. A fraction of an OWS Acquisition or Dorfman Production lease is priced off that well's actual decline, and the big unknown, whether EOG follows its Mahoning County oil result into Stark, is something we flag rather than price. We value off the actual wells and show the work, 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. 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. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing.
