What are the oil/gas rights in Ohio?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Gas and oil rights to a specific tract of land is granted by the land owner to another concern. The contract contains all the details of the privileges granted by the landowner and explains the terms and compensation that will be paid and under what circumstances. The state does not govern these matter on behalf of private individuals.

You will need to contact the Ohio Division of Mineral Resources Management in Columbus, Ohio to obtain the precise information you are seeking. Generally, the law governing oil and gas rights can be found at Chapter 1501 of the Ohio Administrative Code and Chapter 1509 of the Ohio Revised Code.
