problems with gas prices

Hi cesme
I was wondering the same. Appears there is more gas coming out of the middle of wyoming than the piplenes can carry. And therefor there is a glut of gas and prices fall.
Yesterday prices at opal hub were averaged $2 over the last month have been around $3.50. Whether this will improve, talk of majors shutting in gas, or deteriorate, more supply coming online, I cant tell you.
This is why Samson have changed tack and are going to focus on oil. Interesting to note that early on Baxter shale was a 10 mil barrel oil target and then they decided it was going to be a gas play, now I wonder if they all of a sudden try to tell us that it is in fact an oil play.
My understanding is that Longer term there is good news in that a new pipeline Rockies express and an extension Overthrust to Opal are due to come on line at the start of 2008.

Also they had to write down a significant amount of reserves. Jonah and lookout wash not performing in line with expectations Greens Canyon 2 did not work so they those reserves were lost for the time being.
Terry Barr returns from America at the end of the month so I will try to get in contact to find out more. I am interested to find out what the current drilling plans are going to be
I would suggest there will be a number of acquisitions to look forward to. How they fund them is the real question.

Short term things could be rough. longer term I think things will turn out pretty good.

This is only my interpretation. there may be other problems I am unaware of. Hope this helps.
