RE: S1 FiledJag
The sharp recent rise in well drilling and particularly well
stimulation costs has made some US
unconventional gas resource uneconomic. The Bossier play in SE Tex is especially at risk. If you add to that high impurities, then the economics are a disaster
You can already see this is GPR's $0.16 per mcf net backs.
According to Chesapeake Energy Corp., the Deep Bossier tight gas
play in East Texas has an average $10 million well cost and a 5
bcf/well (gross) average estimated ultimate recovery (EUR).
that makes the F&D about $2.67 per mcf.
GPR
receives the Houston Ship Channel spot prices less the stipulated $1.50
per mcf treating fee at the treating plant field gate, so their net gas
receipts averaged $3.19 per mcf during Q107 and Q207. Lifting costs
were $0.76 per Mcf.
Then account for deductions for royalties, taxes, net profit interests and G&A.
All this stuff about TCF potential doesn't mean much if the economics don't work.
