From the article:
"Pitzarella [Range Resources] added that the "very promising" production numbers in the report represent the earliest stages of the shale development, and it will still take several years for each well to break even.

Hmmm. If it takes "several years" to pay off an average well once, how long would it take to pay off a 400% risk penalty? (So a force pooled landowner would start getting that promised check in the mailbox.)

last winter a guy that is in the know, told me that payback is about 3.5 years or less. But please to not base any assumptions on that figure. Simply a FYI item
