Only if you need money tomorrow. Eventually, it is going to happen. Further, the silver lining is that 2 years from now the technology will be so much better that you will recover more gas from your well.
While rather morbid as an analogy, we are like cancer patients; e.g. need to try something and to do nothing does not advance the frontier. Here is the parallel: If they drill your lease, they will make money - period. If they do not, they may lose the lease via the clause in the contract. They know how many wells they can drill and frac vs what they have leased. They are on a treadmill. The CFO of Statoil told me that they have 17000 wells to drill in three years - not possible unless they are in a frenetic hurry.
The chemistry on these wells is evolving - at conferences arguments abound as to the correct chemistry for fraccing. Being right or wrong can be huge. We just changed the chemistry in Utah as an example and the production went from 150 bbls/day to 350 bbls/day.
Punch line same well drilled 2 years from now with the rapidly advancing technology may yield a 50% increase in gas production - good for the gas company... but on a relative dollar basis, spectaculary for you.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
