I apologize to all those I haven’t been in contact with recently.  I’m working hard to get to everyone.

I ran across an article that shows that the Marcellus formation isn’t the only play in this neck of the woods.  Gastar has gone down to the Utica and Point Pleasant in Marshall County, and are getting excellent results.

These ares not the only producible formations down there.  Keep that in mind when you’re negotiating a lease.  Ask for a formation reservation, a Pugh clause, and keep in mind that this document could easily exist beyond your grandkids’ lifetimes.
