Reading posts to Micheal Reids Q, in the general discussion. What is a fair offer TODAY , the past is just that. If no one has noticed people are leaving, not coming to Tioga Co. Many commercial buildings that were rented to gas field co's are now empty, camper lots empty. The Northern half of the county is Shell's. No one else is coming. Talisman is letting leases expire, dissolving partnership agreement with Shell for Jackson Twp, due to bad profitability.We are tier 2 acreage, Northern half is not even that. Production #'s are marginal at best for many of the early wells. If you think less than 2k is a insult, you are living in the past.08-10 many players in area, price of gas in 08 $12-14, seismic testing not complete, the world was running out of gas, oil. Enter the Bakken, Eaglesford, Utica. Now on a positive note, Shell is here hopefully for the long run, gas prices are rebounding from historic lows, technology is getting better. So I say again what is a fair price? If nothing else my rant is sure to liven up our county group once again.
