Competitive Market Position


Current Marcellus Acreage 
Significant Marcellus acreage that
is held by shallow well production
Approximately 350 horizontal well
locations from HBP acreage alone
Primary term leased acreage can
generally be held by production
from shallow vertical or Marcellus
horizontal wells
Current drilling program
supplemented with selective
shallow drilling will HBP all strategic
acreage with near term lease
expirations over the next two years
