No doubt, but I was speaking more about the companies themselves, as opposed to maybe Devon, Apache, or Sandridge.  I thought it's just kind of a coincidence that the three companies here don't really go by a name, just initials.  Probably comes from me bouncing around in the truck too much.

I also think it's sad that all we have to talk about up here are the companies initials...

The price of natural gas has caused a lack of encouraging topics for discussion.  It will not stay depressed forever.  SWN has a valuable, long term asset in the Fayetteville Shale.  At their low production costs they just need a price over $4.25 to ramp up production.

Yep, and it's my job to help make it lower...

Production cost or market price?

Production cost. I have a service company up here in the F'ville.  The way to survive in this market is to come up with a better mousetrap now and then, so that's my job.  Lots of companies can do the same things the same way it's always been done, but figure out a safer, more cost effective way of doing things, and that makes you more valuable to the production companies.

Technical innovation has revolutionized the industry in the last 10 years and fluctuating energy prices don't seem to slow the pace.  Good Luck.
