52 Billion CF per Square Mile

In yesterday's earning conference, Chesapeake said that it expects to recover 52 billion cf of gas per square mile in the Haynesville. That figure seems incompatible with Chesapeake's earlier statements that there will be a 73% falloff in production in the second year.

Attached is a spreadsheet that shows one way to get to 52 billion cf over 40 years of production. It says present value of a 25% royalty is $76,000/acre.

Any comments welcome please?

It's not gonna fizzle. They also say they're gonna recover 52 billion cf per section, which means each acre should pay $3,000 or $4,000 for lots of years. Revised spreadsheet uploaded.

Uncle Floyd said on one of his broadcasts that some would produce 150bcf per section. Those are the same sections that he would be leasing in 2 to 3 years for $40,000 to $50,000 per acre , that by that time would have to be fringes. Makes you wonder.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
