Adam,

Sorry I haven't dropped by to say hello in a while..I've been around, just a couple miles south. Turned on another good well in Bloosburg on Friday and still drilling like crazy in your neck of the woods. Next time I get a few extra minutes, I'll make sure I stop by. Seems like we're nothing but go go go in this business and a few extra minutes is a hard item to find.

It's nice to see companies like mine can literally turn peoples live's around. One of the big rewards I enjoy in this industry actually. One cool thing is that I was approached by another company where I live. THey just drilled a Marcellus within a mile of my house and more are coming. Looks like my property may be in one of the units. THe sad part was I leased at $5 an acre 7 yrs ago, now it's going anywhere between $3500-$5000 an acre. I have one upper devionian (shallow well about 2700') on my property that's provided minimal royalties and free gas....but now we're talking! Unfortunately Clarion county isn't providing as good as wells as Tioga, but I'm not looking any gift horse in the mouth. Hopefully I'll start seeing some mailbox money in the upcoming year.

Thanks
Petey
