I am one of the very few, to the consternation of the drilling company
doing the leasing, who refused to lease the mineral rights on our
farm. It is one of very few parcels of land in central Michigan not
under contract.

Not far from here are some of the highest head pressures you can find.
Unfortunately the gas is very deep and although there are a *few* new
wells, most have been capped. They are not dry holes.

Roger,
How much pressure does the average well have on it in your local area? How deep do they drill up there? Most leases
around here are for 3 years and are 7500 to 9500 feet deep. Some go to 11000 feet though. A few wells have up to
10000 psi of pressure on the casing but most local wells are a few thousand. We are currently undergoing the biggest
drilling boom since the early 1980's. South of here 60 or 70 miles are some wells that are over 20,000 feet deep.
