RB, yes- I would definitely interpret EnCana's "gas factory" to be a reference to a pad drilling development mode. Of course I like to give that term a bit more spin.
The Haynesville Shale does not preclude the Operators from drilling Cotton Valley wells. Personally, I like the idea of receiving royalty checks from a Haynesville well that will make 3 Billion cu ft of gas in it's first year rather than a Cotton Valley well that won't make 3 Billion cu ft in it's lifetime. Tell me what Section, Township and Range you're in and I'll gladly have my attorney work up the paperwork for a swap, if you're in the play, James C. My Cotton Valley for your Bossier/Haynesville....acre for acre....even. If you're not in the Haynesville play, then I know why you're satisfied with the Cotton Valley.....I would be too. Personally, I'd like to have Cotton Valley, Bossier and Haynesville production from my minerals at the same time. How sweet would that be!
