...keeping in mind that maybe a 15% figure of gas in place is viably recoverable...and that the Liard shale is in a relatively remote [read expensive to develop] area...
it's also true though that at 100km distant from the horn river play there is already infrastructure under development and technical service support is being established in Fort Nelson a further 45 km away.
I live in Fort Nelson and, aside from investing in qec, i'm sniffing around for real estate...if horne river and liard both prove up it'll be at a premium
