Rob Turnham, president and COO of Goodrich Petroleum Corp., sat down with Hart Energy’s Jessica Morales to take a look at the path forward for gas in the Haynesville Shale.
“What’s really remarkable, however, is how productive the Haynesville has evolved into over the last six years,” Turnham said. “We went from producing about 1.1 Bcf per 1,000 feet to over 2.5 Bcf per 1,000 mainly through completion methodology changes, optimization and obviously drilling longer laterals.”
Trying to gauge an LNG outlook into 2021, Turnham said, “It has to get better. So much of what’s been done in the past had contracts that were tied to liquids. You are seeing more and more contracts tied to JKM or a European index or something that’s really tied to more gas prices. Again, as demand improves [and] as GDPs come back to where they were or certainly close to where they were, demand will come back for LNG.”
