Gas investors and drilling slow in Kansas exploration
Kansas Geological Survey reports five active rigs in the state, well below a peak near 200. In 1999 there were 1,015 operators and 17,146 producing gas wells. Independent producers say higher prices spur some activity but investors remain cautious about long term returns. Drilling a new well can cost around 200,000 dollars and outcomes hinge on future prices and national energy policy.
