Randy, information indicates most of the Haynesville Shale production in the southern portion of the play (including the Grogan Field) contains H2S and CO2 levels that exceed gas sales pipeline specifications.  This is the reason the gathering networks include amine treating plants that will lower the H2S and CO2 content to meet specifications.
What is the price difference in relation to a well with no H2S?
What is H2S ?
Dee, H2S is hydrogen sulfide.

Randy,

I have some respondents in my survey who have deductions for "treatment."  Sometimes this can mean removal of H2S and CO2.  In one case where I can back out the numbers, it was just under 15 cents/mcf.

Randy, there should not be a "price" difference as the gas is sold after treatment.  You would need to check your lease agreement and royalty statements to determine if the treating costs are deductible.
H2S is hydrogen sulfide. The gas is referred to as "sour gas.". It can kill you if it gets in the air. And if it's in your well, the gas is discounted because it has to be treated.
Oh, not good :(
Dee, the H2S is not a big deal as the levels in the Haynesville Shale are not significant and definitely not at levels to be dangerous.  Also, almost all Haynesville Shale production requires some level of treating.  The gas is not really "discounted" in price as the sale occurs after any required treatment.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
