I was wandering if anyone feels that there will be new activity as well as maintenance related stuff for 2014.

I have heard from numerous customers stating that it is coming back and I am just trying to speculate if 2014 could be the year for that.

I also hear that the break even price (new wells) for the "independent" operators is around $4.50 to $5 for Natural Gas versus $5 - $5.50 for the larger operators.  Is that a pretty good price range?

Numerous businesses in the market place are hurting because of the lack of business.

That seems correct for breakeven, meaning end of life revenue equals end of life expense, but nobody will drill for that. NPV10 (making a 10% return on investment) requires about $6/mcf for the average 5 BCF well. Realize that the very best wells (top 10%) may top the now clearly hyped early estimates of the "typical" 7 BCF well but most of the wells will not make 5 BCF. Most operators will want a 20% rate of return to drill. The very best wells will give that return at $4.50/mcf, but the 5 BCF well will require more than $8/mcf to return 20% and all those 3-4 BCF wells don't have a chance.

Paul, Doob, 

I don't see much happening in the Haynesville proper in 2014, with the exception of some work to hold acreage .  I do see some potential for continued search for liquids (e.g. Anadarko and Chervron in Panola County), but I think that a lot of that search will happen somewhat south of the Hanyesville.  For instance, BBX just completed 2 nice wells near Jasper that are producing several hundred bbls of condensate/day.  Of course, this liquids production is much more "conventional" and spottier than the Haynesville.
