Ohio oil and gas wells where drilling started in the last 90 days with no reported first production. Tighter horizon than permits, faster signal than the DUC stack.

A "spud" is the moment a drilling rig physically starts boring the wellbore — the rig is on location, the bit is in the ground. A spudded well with no reported first production is the earliest hard signal that development has reached the area.
For mineral owners, recently spudded wells are an even tighter leading indicator than permits:
30-90 day horizon — Most spudded wells are completed within 30-90 days and start producing within 60-120 days.
Capital deployed — Unlike a permit (intent), a spud means real money is being spent. The operator is committed.
Where to watch — A spud on offset acreage to your minerals is the strongest near-term signal of new production touching your interest.

A new spud on offset acreage often signals fresh near-term royalty income. Get a free written offer that reflects your interest's current value.
