Guernsey County, Ohio Mineral Rights

Utica Shale development has made Guernsey County one of Ohio’s most closely watched mineral markets.

Guernsey County has played an important role in Ohio’s Utica Shale development for more than a decade. Production of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, together with continued operator interest, creates premium opportunities for mineral properties in the county.

Utica Shale Development in Guernsey County

Producing wells, existing drilling units, permitting activity and operator acreage positions all contribute to the market for mineral rights in the county.

Development is not uniform. Geology, nearby well performance, drilling-unit configuration, lease terms and future development timing can vary by township and from one tract to the next. As a result, properties only a few miles apart may attract very different levels of interest and very different offers.

What Can Affect the Value of Guernsey County Mineral Rights?

Mineral value is specific to the property—not simply the county. Important considerations may include:

  • Exact location within the Utica and Point Pleasant development area
  • Nearby producing wells, permits, well pads and horizontal laterals
  • Whether the minerals are leased, unleased or already producing
  • Royalty percentage and post-production deduction language
