During this period, many towns in Ohio experienced rapid boom-to-bust cycles. Findlay was “the gas capital of Ohio in late 1885.” [8] For example, in Findlay, the first commercial natural gas well began producing in 1884. In 1886, the productive Karg Well (over 10,000,000 cubic feet/day) and other wells resulted in so much gas being flared ...
Based on the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) map of oil and gas wells in the area, at least seven horizontal wells had undergone hydraulic fracturing near and around Clendening Lake from February to October 2013. Several corroborating evidences show that it is most probable that hydraulic fracturing on the wells induced the 2013 ...
ODNR owns and manages more than 640,000 acres (260,000 ha) of land, including 75 state parks, 23 state forests, 136 state nature preserves, and 150 wildlife areas. The department has jurisdiction over more than 61,500 mi (99,000 km) of inland rivers and streams, 451 mi (726 km) of the Ohio River , and 2.29 million acres (9,300 km 2 ) of Lake Erie .
In 2021, the state said it documented 20,000 orphan wells in a report to the Interior Department. The Wayne National Forest is home to at least 200 abandoned oil and gas wells in southeast Ohio ...
The state Oil and Gas Commission has sided with the Department of Natural Resources in a case involving who should pay for a $1.3 million environmental cleanup caused by a leak from an Ohio ...
[96] [97] The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Ohio Seismic Network (OhioSeis) determined that the 2011 earthquakes are distinct from previous seismic activity in the region because of their proximity to the Northstar 1, a Class II deep injection well. [98] All of the earthquakes were clustered less than a mile around the well. [98]
The field was discovered in 1876, but the size and magnitude of the field was not known until the 1880s. The field was the largest natural gas discovery up to that time, with an area of 5,120 square miles (13,300 km 2), somewhat smaller in area than the state of Connecticut, containing over 1 trillion cubic feet (28 × 10 ^ 9 m 3) of
Above the well sits a replica spring-pole. The Thorla-McKee Well in Noble County, Ohio was the first oil -producing well in North America according to the Ohio Historical Society . Dedicated in 1992 by the Noble County Department of Tourism and the Ohio Historical Society, a designation marker sits within 1-mile (1.6 km) of Caldwell, Ohio to ...
