Thanks for the insights. You have also confirmed my observation about MEO's paranoia in my earlier e-mail. And now we gather further insight for the reason in your remarks -

"He believes the primary difficulty and hence why there has been so little drilling and success in eastern TN is because it is like no other place and you have to start from scratch. " I gather that this impediment has kept just about everyone (except Atlas America) out of them there hills. And I bet that Atlas doesn't like the potential competition.

I would guess that MEO must feel that this rather "virgin territory" in TN holds great potential - once they can crack the "code" for successful large scale drilling. Since solving this mystery has vast economic potential, they have been rather paranoid about devulging their methodology.

So, maybe their is more to the last NR than meets the eye. I think we may know more after the AGM since this would provide a good venue to "stir up the troops."
