Every Ohio drilling unit, on one map
When an operator asks the State of Ohio to combine land into a drilling unit, the filing lists every tract and owner, the planned wells and the operator's own sworn economics. The state publishes it as thousands of PDFs. BasinDesk turns those filings into a map, a search and a monthly update.
Free to search. You see whether there is a match, and in which unit and county.
What you get
Public filings, read and structured. Every record links to the ODNR original.
The map
Unit boundaries from the filed shapefiles, colored by status: application pending hearing scheduled approved. Every unit is on it with its basic facts.
The monthly docket
New applications, hearing notices and orders for each month you are covered, with a CSV.
Unit pages
Operator, counties, acres, the timeline of filings, hearing date, order number, planned wells, drilling deadlines and the tract table, each with a link to the ODNR original.
The operator's sworn economics
Expected recovery, well costs, undiscounted value, PV0 and PV10, exactly as filed by the operator in the application.
Alerts
By county, by operator or by parcel number.
Owner lists
The owners on the operator's Exhibit A with mailing addresses, in the app and as a CSV, in every unit you have open.
