Despite the steep decline in natural gas prices drilling in Ohio's Utica Shale is continuing at a rapid pace. A county by county breakdown of drilling permits issued in June by the ODNR shows Carroll and Columbiana counties both received 8 permits each. Harrison county was issued 7, Noble county 5. Belmont and Guernsey counties were each issued 3 permits. Mahoning county and Jefferson Counties were issued 1 each.
