Yes to more wells in production in the top ranked fields.  Probably to the question of other fields being more prolific although the shale under the Trenton Field is good rock.  As to when development will pick up, can't answer that.  Some operators drill more alternate unit wells than others.  In the Trenton Field the only operator with any significant number of alternate unit wells is EOG and they operate a small fraction of the units in the field.  In addition their units are not fully developed, only about half developed (4 wells).  The bulk of the Haynesville units belong to CHK and they drill fewer alternate unit wells than any other major Haynesville operator across the Play.  Although in the southern most one third of the productive basin the wells in the Trenton Field are not sufficiently deep to cause the problems with heat and pressure that manifest themselves further to the south and east.  The Trenton Field is a good place to own minerals IMO.

Also, Trenton Field is small, geographically.  It doesn't encompass very many sections.  Red River/Bull Bayou is huge -- it has many more sections than does Trenton.
