text: I am glad that there are companies willing to look for smaller deposits of natural gas.
  I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and we have methane at just 30 or 40 feet deep.
  In the 1950's using technology of the day they found possible large oil and gas deposits.
  N.W. Natural was drilling just 3 miles from my farm and when they hit gas at Mist they were gone in less than a day.
