I appreciate the criticism. I have my own concerns about FOG. Feel pretty dumb from getting back into this stock at this point. I think TBN and FOG are in the exact same boat. TBN raised half the money they thought they would. Now they have to borrow money, sell future gas, farm out land, or dilute their share price and raise more money. Yes, there are some deep pockets involved but rich people hate spending their own money. For whatever reason…there is simply little interest in investing in TBN or FOG at this stage. I think regardless of what is in the ground…there is a lot to do to bring gas to market. There is a lot of money that needs to be raised. I suspect a sale is not as close as some think unfortunately. I think this is largely due to a lack of interest. That may change with these next two wells.
I am hopeful good flow rates at the end of the year or beginning of next year will help drive up our price a little. But I thought that with our last well…and we know all know how that went.
FOG needs TBN to succeed and I hope TBN wants FOG to succeed. Sheffield has spread his investments over all three players for a reason.
I am far from a gas expert. I was reading the FOG/TBN contract and the execution of the checker board approach is solely at the discretion of TBN. And its primary use to help identify good drilling areas. It’s not a sales tool or marketing theory. It’s a systematic approach to drilling different areas over a large parcel of land in an organized manner to maximize success. Well…that is what I understood it to be. But I reiterate, this approach is solely in TBNs discretion. I don’t see how this is really changes anything at the end of the day. Bottom line is both FOG and TBN need $$$$. And as of today….TBN nor FOG have generated the interest in their assets they have hoped for. We are on the same boat…
