Lots of the wells that were drilled in the Marcellus were never produced because the collection lines hadn’t been built. That’s ongoing now. There’s a huge flood of oil and gas that will be coming to market. I suspect drilling won’t be a priority until the wells drilled during the Obama fiasco are all producing.
Even here in the basin we’re facing that problem. More and more drilling is horizontal with huge multi stage fracing and that takes allot of time and equipment, fracing cost exceed drilling costs anymore. with few companies capable of providing the equipment and expertise for these frack jobs waiting time can be long.
