BIG FIND

According to the Houston Chronicle, Petrohawk Energy announced last year that it had found a massive new deposit of shale gas in south Texas, named Eagle Ford.

The break-even price for production at Eagle Ford is $3.88 per million British thermal units; moreover, the field is close to pipelines and sits below south Texas ranch land -- and as one lessor said, "You can certainly make more money from wells than cows.

Many heads are much better than one...

IS IT BETTER TO FORM OR JOIN A GROUP, OR "GO IT ALONE"?Your decision to lease or not to lease should be based on what is important to you. If you have done any research, you will have discovered that the initial drilling phase involves acreage. In our opinion, joining, or forming a group that has the same goals for land use is the best way to go. Many heads are much better than one, and the added amount of property available under one lease provides greater leverage when negotiating terms of the gas or oil lease.
