Change could cut gas drilling in Permian Basin
Midland area gas marketers John Smart and Charles Kuss say a proposed federal natural gas rule will keep drilling in decline by cutting prices for old and new gas. They note a surplus already depresses prices and threaten independents near bankruptcy. A FERC rule proposal would charge different prices for old gas from pre 1977 wells and new gas from post 1977 wells, potentially lowering returns for producers.
