Something's happening (maybe)

Over a month ago, a Long Consultant rep came around wanting me to sign for permission for Shell to do a 3-D seismic survey. I told them I wasn't leased, and they said someone would be around soon to talk to me. Well, no one came around.

 

Finally I contacted Andrea Garrity at Shell. Thanks to whoever gave me her e-mail!! She seems to have lit fires under several people. I got a phone call from Long Consulting this morning, apologizing for not talking to me. The guy from Long said that he understands that I'm "currently negotiating a lease" with Shell.  Hmmm...I haven't heard from anyone yet (Andrea told me that the guy I'm supposedly negotiating with was out of the office last week). The Long guy is going to email back to Andrea that no one has contacted me yet. At least I'm on their radar now. I hope that the drilling end is more organized than the leasing end; so far I'm not impressed with Shell or Long Consulting.

It's hard to know what the gas companies are thinking/planning. The landman told me that the 3-D survey might not happen for a year or two, but does he really know anything? He didn't seem to, since I had to email Shell to get my lease approved. Shell is moving very slowly getting the horizontals drilled around my area; only a couple of units that I'm aware of in Delmar township have the horizontals drilled (and there are dozens of units). The Shell pipeline isn't done, and the new Tenneco pipeline isn't open yet, so there's nowhere for gas to go anyway. The price of gas is low, but it costs them money to leave the rigs sitting. It may all come together next year. Or not.
