...copious quantities of gas are going to come out of solution .....

They might have to flare it off at the location like the old days, huh?

When I was at McNeese taking freshman geology (they only offered one year), the instructor told us about how he used to be able, as a young man driving in southern Ohio and Indiana, to turn his headlights off at night and drive by the light of the gas flares. They had a ton of Paleozoic production up there -- Trenton Formation, I think -- mostly oil, not enough gas to gather and do anything constructive with, apparently. So they flared it off, like the Saudis and Kuwaitis.

Yes indeed and the problem really is that they don't really know exactly what they are dealing with since the well was never completed and they never did any bottom hole sampling.

Same thing East of Conroe in the old days. You could read a newspaper at midnight even when there was no moonlight.

Same here, way back when.
