PHK said this is a property they definitely would not drill in the foreseeable future. They paid 1.85 million for 127 acres, why would they not have a plan to drill?
They gots lots more to drill on! This has a couple of years to run. They "only" paid $14,567/acre for this plot. They paid a lot more for other areas! And maybe they like hitting balls!
This is old news. About time the Times picked up on this story.
You will see more of this as CHK and HK aquire property for urban drillsites. The delay is probally how long it will take them to lease enough townlots to make it worthwhile.
