RE: Last Weeks Rig Count and Storage "I definitely don't understand the mentality of the nat. gas traders, but continued low prices will only delay the inevitable backlash of much higher prices in the future."
Prices must stay a little longer under $3.00 in order to shake out the weak NatGas producers.
Also interesting is the Encana hedge book. High prices contracts are to expire by the end of the year. Next year, they will sell Natgas at a price where they won't make any profits.
Let's wait and see what it means for Peyto's operations.
