Thought you might find this interesting and informative. In response to this article, Chespaeake's CEO sent a letter to each of the company's employees. Here you go!
Seems to me that the Times struck a nerve...
I think there is a good deal of truth to what they say in the current price structure. IF n.gas were to rise even by a few bucks I think it would be a didderent game al togther.
The average ultimate recovery from Hayneville wells will be 3 to 4 BCF of economically significant production. At $5.00 gas, this will not provide a reasonable rate of return on $11 million wells (includes well, land, infrastructure). The link to Mr. McClendon's letter is broken, but in the excerpts I read, he never says the play will pay out. If he didn't say that it will, it's an interesting omission since that is the crux of the NYT article. It's a great time to be a royalty owner.
