Is $81,250 Total Return a conservative estimate for royalties over the life of the play for 1 acre? Or I could use Cheseapeake's numbers and arrive at $142,187.50
This is a good point, in the HS area there is a fair amount of HOSS/CV/LCV reserves that would not have been economical to extract on their own (or to transport via pre-HS infrastructure) which could now be added to the mix since the cost of the vertical wellbore through these zones can be primarily paid for by the HA reserves beneath them.
Also the Arklatex has not been known as a primary location of significant adamantium reserves, so I would not factor these into your analysis. Even if it were, adamantium cannot be economically recovered through a wellbore.
For those who have not previously participated in the in-depth and quite scholarly discussions of adamantium, I offer the following definition:
Adamantium is a fictional man-made metal alloy that has been depicted largely within the pages of comic books published by Marvel Comics. ...
