The annual report issued by the Ohio Oil & Gas Association (OOGA) each year. The most recent report (released in March 2015 at OOGA's annual winter meeting) shows 2014 as a breakout year for Utica Shale drilling. The report contains a number of very useful maps and stats about recent permitting and drilling in the Ohio Utica Shale.
