Chesapeake gets OK for 3 new fracking wells in northeast Ohio

(NYSE:CHK) has gotten permits for three new wells to explore for natural gas in Ohio’s Utica shale field, the Youngstown Vindicatorreports.

The Oklahoma City-based company’s Chesapeake Exploration LLC affiliate said the Ohio Department of Natural Resources granted the wells in Columbiana County, the paper reported, where it plans to look for resources using fracking.

Columbiana County now has 14 wells approved for fracking, the paper said.
