There are lots of areas that we drill in that don’t have domestic natural gas lines run. Doesn’t mean there isnt gas underneath you, just means that it must not be profitable enough for the gas company to run lines through your area to get it to you. If we drilled a well on your property you would get gas directly from YOUR well, so the lack of distribution lines makes no difference.
Also, a gas well can last anywhere from 30 to 100 years. There are tons of them around my area that are more than 100 years old and still producing.
