<p>Dooms day alert! Are we really looking at a dooms day scenario? If those of you out there who were only seeing mega wealth potential, then I understand your disappointment over current market conditions. But, many of us are looking for the opportunity to sell our natural gas and earn money from it`s sale. Just as we can sell timber for profit from our property, we want to sell natural gas and make a profit, too. Will we become mega millionaires, hope so but probably not, but gas…</p>
<p>Dooms day alert! Are we really looking at a dooms day scenario? If those of you out there who were only seeing mega wealth potential, then I understand your disappointment over current market conditions. But, many of us are looking for the opportunity to sell our natural gas and earn money from it`s sale. Just as we can sell timber for profit from our property, we want to sell natural gas and make a profit, too. Will we become mega millionaires, hope so but probably not, but gas royalties will be welcomed to supplement our regular income. Having to wait longer will be difficult for us older landowners, but we know our children, as Keith points out, may be the ultimate beneficiary. That`s OK, too.</p>
<p>Do I still believe that demand will increase during the next several years...you bet I do! I believe the increase in demand will come from new pipelines with take away capacity to the east coast, to southeast US, to the Gulf of Mexico region, north to Canada, to the west, and northeast into New England. And then there are the LNG plants being built for export of natural gas. Are all these sources for natural gas lies? Personally, I don`t look at the current slump as a "bust" but rather a slowdown to allow demand and all the related infrastructure to catch-up to production capability, and then we enter into the next chapter for the shale gas story in the United States.

<p>Joe, my experience, land agents, and most so called oil and gas attorneys will throw you under the bus for their benefit. I've done o.k. but a lot of innocent land owners were really taken advantage of. I would rather have less money than live in an industrialized waste land.</p>

<p>I've heard the same from an acquaintance that works for XTO in PA. Many layoffs at XTO and other major O&G companies coupled with the trickle-down of resulting layoffs in the O&G drilling support and service companies. Boom times appear to have gone bust!</p>

<p>I read a comment posted on zerohedge.com the other day from someone with a relative in the business in Houston. Despite the housing market still holding up there, he said oil/gas was a "bloodbath."</p>

<p>So sad. And the ripple effects for the economy at large haven't even been considered yet.</p>

<p>There are a few landowners in Harrison Co., OH, that have made some seriously big bucks since this all began, but for the most of us life goes on just as it had before the O&G companies rolled into town. Those who had dreams of becoming JR Ewing are in for a disappointment.</p>
