Michigan has a rich history of oil and gas drilling. In fact, hydraulic fracturing has been used extensively for many years in Michigan. The first reported hydraulic fracturing in Michigan was in 1952 on a well in Elk Township, Lake County, located in the northwestern part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, 80 miles north of Grand Rapids. The well was drilled to the Ellsworth Shale at a depth of approximately 1,100 feet. Michigan's oil and gas industry contributes to the state's economy in a variety of ways: - Providing more than 10,000 industry-related jobs. - Paying 14,000 private mineral owners more than $80 million in royalties annually. - Contributing nearly $1 billion in oil and gas income (royalties, rentals, lease bonuses) to the State of Michigan since 1927. - Paying more than $40 million in severance taxes and oil and gas fees to the State of Michigan annually. - Michigan produces about 30 percent of the natural gas the state uses. The book will show you Michigan's history and more.
