Brief History

We began assembling our acreage position in 2011 based upon an analytical evaluation of the shale properties within the Utica and Point Pleasant formations across Eastern Ohio, and based upon this evaluation, we concentrated our acquisition efforts in an area spanning parts of 5 counties that we believed would be the most prolific region of the play. This includes parts of Noble, Guernsey, Monroe, Belmont and Harrison Counties. Since entering the play in 2011, we, or our operating partners have commenced drilling 75 gross wells in this 5 county area, which we believe to be the core of the Utica Shale play.
