I like the way that your thinking Mr. Choctaw, and I do hope that we are able to produce wet gas or condensate...
However; Time, Pressure, and Temperature all tend to drive the complex organic molecules from the plankton deposited within the shale toward smaller and smaller hydrocarbons. This process terminates once the organics have been converted to methane, aka natural gas [CH4], as there are no more carbon-bonds to break. Increased Pressure, Temperature, or length of Time would all tend to encourage a reservoir comprised of ever increasing percentage of methane - and methane has the lowest BTU value because again there are no more carbon-bonds to be broken via combustion to release extra energy.
Ethane [C2H6], Propane [C3H8], Butane [C4H10], etc... all contain more and more BTU's. The presence of the these molecules, even in small quantities would yield a 'wet' gas and increased revenue from the well as the gas as a whole is more valuable due to it's higher energy content, or the propane or butane could be separated and sold separately. Hydrocarbon molecules larger than Hexane tend to form liquids at standard temperature and pressure and are highly valuable as they are very near the components of gasoline.
I have logs from three different wells that all logged high concentrations of all the hydrocarbons mentioned above while drilling through these formations (Bossier & Haynesville Shales) at similar depths (though the temperature is higher in the Burkley-Phillips#1 Well. I would post one of the logs if I knew how... Perhaps I can post it on GoHaynesvilleShale.com...
