How in the world do you HBP 80,000 acres with only 335 barrels of production? Something does not seem right here. Looks like a deal for mullets.

Jay, Its my understanding that with the premium on AC oil we are still at $100.00 per barrel. I still don't think these operators know what they are doing when they drill, complete and stimulate AC. That's my two bits worth.

Joe, I too was curious about the drilling and completion techniques used by current players in the chalk.

Think about it this way. Why wouldn't they be using some of the proven techniques used in past chalk plays? I know that the oilfield often has people that don't learn from the past, but heck you would think they would have made a good attempt.

If I proven chalk driller snatches this up that could be a sign that just maybe they didn't use the proper technology and processes for drilling in a chalk play.

Joe:

If the operators of Indigo were to be in possession of leases bearing a large percentage of ROM minerals, it would not be a stretch for such agreements to be held by minimal terms or by a contractually acceptable exploration and development program (Indigo's holdings include large amounts of ROM mineral properties and leasehold assets).  Also, even in a more "arms-length" transaction amongst an E&P company and an institutional landowner, exploration agreements and developmental leases involving large blocks of land can be had provided that diligent pursuit of exploration and development are met.
