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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Trumbull County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Trumbull County?
On gas, and on the forward gas price rather than the spot headline, because Trumbull Clinton wells are long-lived and make very little oil. A fraction under Eric Petroleum, Everflow, Diversified or OWS Acquisition is a steady gas check priced off its decline. Whether EOG's Mahoning County oil result reaches north into Trumbull is a question for the permits, not for today's offer. 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. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
