    My wife and I were solicited by Ohio Valley energy Systems who had plans to drill a well on the property of a neighbor whos property ran two lots behind ours. After dealing with these people for over three months, and being thretened with mandatory pooling, and after talking to all our neighbors who woule be directly impacted by this well, my wife and I agreed to sign since we could not see the well or hear it from our property. We were given a map of the plot and shown the well location. six months later a well was drilled 55' from our property line, and 150 feet from my house. When my wife called Ohio Valley energy in hopes of them realizing they were drilling in the wrong place, she was told that she was mistaken and didn't know what she was talking about. This while she was standing at the drilling rig. These people then tried to blame the state of Ohio for being forced to move the well location, but didn't feel it was necessary to inform us or any of our neighbors who thought the well would be 500' from where it is now. These people along with ODNR cannot be trusted to tell the truth about anything with regards to wells, and both obvioulsy believe they have the right to drill anywhere regardless of the devalueation of the homeowners property or the mess they make. When I called the State of Ohio, I was told that If I had contracted with a concrete company for a new driveway and it turned out poorly, I wouldn't be able to call the State, no different with a driller, If I had a problem with my driller, I should contact them. I explained to The Gentelman who I was talking with that the difference is that State of Ohio is the one that permitted the driller and that Mandatory pooling took that argument away form the state. I believe the state has never heard of the term Inverse Condemination which does not give the state the freedom to devalue your property and not compensate you for it. We will see what happens.

Industry connection

The author of this report card:
  1. is not a landman,
  2. is not employed by industry,
  3. does not have friends or relatives in the industry.

Additional Notes: “the state of Ohio is in bed with the Gas and Oil drillers. When Ohio Department of Natural Resources gets its funding from issuing permits, how can one be expected to get a fair shake. Any other business this would be considered a conflict of interest. The state can deny this statement all they want, the facts cannot be denied. ”
