From the way I understand it Nick "HIGH COST TIGHT SAND" means a well will have to have an expensive frac job done on it, and therefore qualifies for reduced state and federal tax rates to compensate for the higher cost to produce it. Anyone else know any more, or can verify this?

I think you are correct. I think it's for the first year of production (could be two?) the severance tax is lower. I don't know about fed. taxes. Maybe one of our industry members can explain it to us.
