rrroae awesome work on both the pad and pond, congrats on a killer place.
B-ski believe me there is nothing FREE about a gas well. We are in the middle of the Barnett shale here in Texas and have a well of our own. Before any of you guys or gals sign a O&G lease agreement please contact me. I learned the hard way and have lost the rights to my property don't let it happen to you. In Texas mineral rights superseded surfaces rights. There is also momentary value to be had. I lost on that deal too.
Just beware if you are approached about any type of O&G. Hire an O&G attorney. As for using free gas from a well that was common practice in the old days, My grandparents had a gas well on their land which provided fuel for the local town and they used it themselves. However when wells were drilled in our area a couple of years ago the O&G companies would not agree to letting the landowners tap into the gas lines for home use because of liability reasons. The raw gas from a well can be very dangerous used in a house. It is odorless and tasteless in its natural state. If you spring a leak you would never know it until it is too late.
