Columbiana County has its first producing well

YOUNGSTOWN — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says Columbiana County has its first producing well.

The well is owned by Chesapeake Exploration LLC and is located off Georgetown Road between Westville-Lake Road and Bowman Road. The site is southwest of Lake Pacentia in Knox Township. There are not production figures available for the well, ODNR officials said.

There was a well in Milton Township in Mahoning County that ODNR reported produced 758 barrels of oil and no gas during 2011. But the oil was recovered and sold during completion/flowback in 2011. There was no commercial production in 2011, according ODNR.

The well owned by Ohio Buckeye Energy is not currently listed as a producing well by ODNR.
