HINTO ENERGY, INC. announced an agreement to take a 75% interest in an exploratory well to be drilled in Medina County, Ohio. Medina County is located on the Appalachian geosyncline which includes both the Berea sands and the Ohio shale stratigraphic levels. This area of Ohio has had a lengthy history of production with multiple producing zones at shallow depths, which is why plan on initially drilling down into the Berea Sandstone, which has been a long term producer at 400 to 600 feet.
