Overview
Ascent Resources-Utica LLC operates the Cravat Coal SHC HR Well Pad in Cadiz, Ohio, as an oil extraction facility. The site is part of the Utica Shale play, contributing to regional hydrocarbon production.
The Ascent Resources-Utica LLC Cravat Coal SHC HR Well Pad is an oil extraction facility located at 47407 High St Rd, Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio. This operational site is part of the broader Utica Shale development, a significant hydrocarbon resource in the Appalachian Basin. The facility is classified under NAICS codes 211111 (Crude Petroleum Extraction) and 211120 (Natural Gas Extraction), indicating its role in both oil and gas production. As an oil extraction well pad in Ohio, the facility operates under state and federal regulations, including EPA's Clean Air Act standards for oil and gas operations and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) permitting. Typical extraction methods in the Utica Shale involve horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, which are standard for unconventional reservoirs. The scale of production at this pad is likely small to medium, consistent with multi-well pad configurations common in the region. The facility's location in rural Harrison County places it within a landscape of mixed agricultural and industrial use. Its operational status contributes to local employment and energy supply, while also necessitating environmental management practices to mitigate potential impacts on air quality and water resources. The site's proximity to the Ohio River watershed underscores the importance of spill prevention and groundwater monitoring.
Environmental context
The well pad is situated in the Appalachian Basin, where oil and gas extraction activities intersect with sensitive water resources. The region's geology and hydrology require careful management of produced water and potential spills. Regulatory oversight by the Ohio EPA and federal agencies addresses air emissions, wastewater disposal, and well integrity to minimize ecological disruption.
