Geo, Twas very kind of you!
I put my first 32nd into a well when I was 18 + 2days old. I put part of my savings from 6 years of driving field tractors, going round and round a dry wheat field watching hawks dive on mice and rabbit into this hole and it all stayed down at the bottom. I tried again when I was 21 and hit on a well that produced over 100 barrels per day for several decades and is still producing over 25. However, I sold my interest in 1992 in this well; which more than paid for my college expenses.
If I were to take the time and figure my average of good wells I think I'd come out about 55, maybe 60% to the good. Personally, I'm quite happy with my success' and hope to have many more. I have always felt good about Mesa, ever since Lowman brought it to my attention early last summer. I wasn't to excited about our ventures into the Texas plays, but I found a nice entry at .055 right after the miss last June I believe it was. And, on occassion I've been accumulating since. I like the concept of investing in Wildcatting Public Co's over private these days. It gives me more than one hole to look at with my money and investing with parties such as yourself and Tom appeals to me.
Keep up the good work and I truly wish you the best with your health concerns.
