Welcome, Mr. Berman. And thank you for the informative post. Interest in, and discussions of, the Haynesville Shale have been fueled in large part locally by the significant escalation in lease bonus offers. Understandably so. Long term production, an thus royalty income, has been much less examined. Though I find the technical aspects of the play endlessly fascinating, I feel that most land/mineral owners do not. My motivation for starting this topic was to bring some attention to the correlation. When discussions address income issues, they become much more relevant to our members. With your permission, I would like to repost your response as a new topic and pose several questions that I think will help the members grasp the significance of the subject.
