Silver Wheaton Corp. Message Board

That rig count continues to fall... Down 24, and today another 29. EPA mandates hit next month and there could be a gas shortage pending what or how much carbon is allowed to be discharged. 1,000 for NG and 1,800 for coal.... Might even charge the utilities for burning the coal... Pay for the carbon...enough that NG and coal are a break even at 4.50 NG.

This is a very good sign of the underlying strength of the company. Keep an eye out and keep us posted.

No problem. NG is heading higher. RDS and KWK got to be drilling those wells soon.

Supply is shrinking vs demand. -30 units is very bullish on NG prices going forward. In three weeks we will be below the 5 yr storage average.

Other companies, like Quicksilver Resources (NYSE: KWK ) , see great potential in its Niobrara acreage. It’s not alone; it recently closed an acquisition and exploration agreement with Shell (NYSE: RDS-A ) that covers 320,000 acres and an area of mutual interest that covers 850,000 acres. Quicksilver not only picked up some cash in the deal but it also picked up a world-class partner. It's also looking to further de-risk its acreage by signing on another third-party joint venture partner to help further fund its development. Quicksilver is very optimistic about the play and sees the Shell venture as validation of its efforts that this play will pan out.

Shell’s not the only energy giant that’s looking for big things from the Niobrara. ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) has amassed 130,000 acres in what it believes is the newly identified sweet spot in the play. Last year it drilled four horizontal wells and saw early production rates in line with its expectations. In fact, the company is seeing higher liquids yields than the Wattenberg, which has been a big driver of value for Anadarko. Because of this, Conoco plans to ramp up its activities this year and drill 32 wells.

I believe RDS and KWK plan to drill 8 this calendar year? They might be drilling today, I don't know the timeframe from Rig Deployment to that region and start dates. I wouldn't want to be short after the drill hole data is released.

You ready, I'm ready...in two minutes....here we go!

Its appearing as bad news after the bell, however an earlier 8K was submitted that gave authority to the Dardens and other officers to aquire more than the original partner agreements. They can now buy all they want up to 40% of the company....afterward have to proxy. Insiders are holding 51M of 170M shares...exactly 30% of the company. I don't know of any other NG player, coal co., oil co..that is holding that big a % of the shares. I smell smoke. Price falling to where it is now allows for the other company associates to purchase cheap shares the day after the re-stated earnings are released.... I say its being held down for a large aquisition and volume will resume higher above 3M per day after the release. Problem is...they said it would be released by this week...and i don't see it.

See above for 8k released Monday.

Short term don't know. Want to read the earnings re-statement and see what they actualy made/spent/ and debt they have to cover. Price received for the gas sold, vs todays prices, etc. It will all shake out soon. NG is heading higher.

Short-Med and longer out prolly 50-60% above $5. But the other % should have doubled in value. Evidentally they plan to spend no more than they take in for a few years. Keep adding properties and a few wells in producing areas to hold prod volumes where they are. The RDS venture holes from last year produced 100MM B/day according to press releases. I don't know if thats a low volume number, high, or med indicator of what they will find, but when the 8 wells are drilled we should know what that property is worth.
