With these really low NG prices, what's your thoughts on which operators will most likely shut-in their NG wells? Will the recently drilled big CULs be turned off? Will the old vertical wells stay on? Will the big boys keep "pullin'" or choke down? Will the smaller operators have no choice but to keep producing at these low NG prices?
