Warren, Niles, Cortland, Hubbard, Newton Falls: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Trumbull County, Clinton gas country where Ohio's first oil well was drilled.
The first well drilled in Ohio for oil went down in Mecca Township, Trumbull County, in 1859, and the county has been producing in one form or another ever since. Today it is a Clinton gas county, nearly four million Mcf a year from about two thousand small wells, with a handful of decade-old Utica horizontals that never got follow-up drilling. The Business Journal reported in January 2026 that leasing in the Mahoning Valley picked up after EOG's 2025 oil well one county south, and Trumbull is part of that valley.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 46,092 barrels of oil and 3,951,113 Mcf of gas from Trumbull County, with 2,207 wells reporting and 1,968 producing. Eric Petroleum had 288 producing wells and made 616,026 Mcf, Diversified Production 290 wells and 578,670 Mcf, Everflow Eastern 157 wells and 508,411 Mcf, OWS Acquisition 340 wells and 477,170 Mcf, and Pin Oak Energy Partners 147 wells and 442,225 Mcf, with PAC Drilling, Ohio Valley Energy Systems, Sound Energy and J Well Service also on checks. Pin Oak's six Utica horizontals, the Brugler and Buckeye in Hartford Township, Kibler 1H and 2-3H in Lordstown, Avalon in Vienna and Zerovich in Mecca, first produced in 2013 and 2014 and reported 602 barrels and 66,559 Mcf in the second quarter of 2026; EOG Ohio's Lennington 1H in Johnston Township reported nothing. ODNR's 2026 quarterly report shows no new horizontal wells online in the county.
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.
