""Abandoned" historically means rights to which no rightful owner can be located.  It does not mean rights where no attempt to utilize the minerals/O&G has been attempted or are sitting idle. But that needs to be defined by law. If…"

Richard,
Noticed a comment from you about having a shallow well in Clearfield, Co. I've seen estimates of vertical and horizontal marcellus wells, but nothing on shallow wells. Properties adjacent to mine have shut in shallow wells and I may end up in a production unit with them. Do you have a sense of the initial production from a shallow well, that you'd be able to share?
Thanks,
Peter
