Shon--I count 4 "busts" since beginning in the business in  1959. The one in 1987 when price supports (FERC-NGPA) for natural gas dropped, it took more than a decade to "recover" and in that decade oil fell to about $10/bbl.

Shale gas was fun, wasn't it?

Hold on to your hat,

the Shale rollercoaster ride may have slowed but not be over yet

the 1987 bust killed my Dad's big expensive pipeyard project.

- he completely set up before the bottom dropped out of the market.

Not many people can stand to go through that twice,

or risk it again after one bust.....

It kind of kills your soul a little

There will be little or no activity until demand and prices go up.. Could be years...just too much gas available....

HOW ABOUT, NO BUST AT ALL, ONLY A DIP IN A CYCLE.

THIS IS THE BEST ROI OF ANY UNCONVENTIAL PLAY ON THE NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.

HOW MANY TIMES DO U ALL NEED HIT THE FACE?

PLAN FOR 2050, NOT FOR 2017...LOOK TO THE FUTURE OR GET LEFT BEHIND.

HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US MANY THINGS, BUT WE MUST LEARN FROM IT.

DO A GOOGLE SEARCH OF ''CARPET BAGGERS''

STAY POSITIVE STAY EDUCATED STAY TUNED TO OUR POSTS.

Sooner the better.

As pertaining to the Utica, thinking how far west of the Ohio River and/or the Ohio-Pennsylvania border may (should) have a significant impact on the time frame myself.

Thinking that a rebound of Oil prices would really help move things along.

Easterly Oil and Wet Gas / Condensate Windows sooner than further West (Oil only).

Just my guesses.

Good luck to all of us.

Proofit is what makes or breaks the bust/boom for sure.

"it will be years before the next boom, maybe not in our lifetime"

is what they said last bust, just maybe two years or three years ago too!!
