Dear Friends--The below is an energy industry-oriented
newsletter that I would normally never forward to this list, except this
issue has a lot of interesting background information on various gas
deposits, including the Marcellus shale and hydrofracking
technology.   And if you aren't convinced about sinking gobs of
your free cash into the natural gas industry after reading this post, I
have an alternative which is a really nice bridge in Arizona....

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Dear Energy and Capital Reader,

You can't ignore it any longer.

Energy prices (and stocks) are -- once again -- absolutely sizzling.

In fact, thanks to the massive run-up in oil prices -- matched with new discoveries in unconventional domestic energy plays -- members of the $20 Trillion Report have been truly crushing it!

As one ecstatic reader writes, "Everything doubled or tripled... whatever you bought in March is up!"

My friend, this run is just getting started.

How can I be so sure?

Simply put, as you'll see in your free report below, a group of scientists in Louisiana recently cracked the code to the largest gas deposit in U.S.History -- and fourth-largest EVER FOUND ON EARTH!

And it's since turned the area into an absolute land rush. Companies around the globe are -- literally -- scavenging every available acre.

In the pages below, I'll show you the four that are ready to pay you a fortune.

But you'll have to hurry. These companies already shot 51%... 80%... 41%... and 66% since March!

To your profitable investing,

Largest Gas Find in
U.S. History Sparks
"Louisiana Land Rush"

Four companies are at the forefront. Each is already up 51%. . . 80%. . . 41%. . . and 66% ­ since March! Prepare to make a killing. . .

 

Dear Reader:

This is big. Real big.

In the swampy outskirts of Red River Parish, Louisiana ­ 271 miles northwest of New Orleans ­ a group of scientists made the discovery of a lifetime. . .

What they found more than 1,000 feet beneath the surface is the single largest natural gas deposit in U.S. history. . .  and so far, the fourth largest deposit ever found on earth!

One CEO, responsible for the find, reported to Forbes this shocking news:

"We've probably doubled America's reserves with THIS play!"

Another exclaims, "There's not a single dry well!"

With a find this large, this new ­ there wouldn't be.

Early conservative estimates peg this giant at 251-TRILLION cubic feet of recoverable gas ­ the stuff we can easily get out of the ground.

If you think that sounds like a lot, you're right.

Damn right!

To put it bluntly, that's enough gas in one small location to support America's gas needs ­ day and night ­ for the next 12 straight years.

One trillion-dollars worth. Freshly tapped.

And get this. . .

Unlike other natural gas deposits ­ like the ones in Colorado that no one's been able to successfully extract ­ these companies aren't just easily producing gas. . . they're producing at astonishing rates.

One report which crossed my desk stated, "These fields are so rich that the pumps don't need to operate much above idle for gas to literally flood out."

The last time we uncovered a deposit similar to this one, back in 2002, early investors raked in gains of 557%, 646%, 1,135%, 1,028%, etc ­ within a few short years!

The difference?

That deposit held a meager 1/8 the amount of gas as this monster. And the outfits on the field were using much older, more expensive technology!

In other words, it took them a lot longer to break even.

Here, even in the early stages of production, the share prices ­ just since March ­ reflect their amazing success: 51%. . .  80%. . . 41%. . . and 66%. . . and that's with natural gas trading at rock-bottom prices!

In fact, the profits are so high that this once-impoverished town is quietly, yet suddenly, becoming one of the most recession-proof cities in America. . .

Unemployment rates are now among the lowest in the country.

Sales tax revenue from shopping alone is 300% higher in the first quarter of 2009 than last year.

And everyday people-in-the-know are raking in cash hand-over-fist.

• Neighboring DeSoto Parish Sheriff, Sgt. Pat Jones Jr., believes "God has blessed everybody living around here." He recently collected $320,000, paying off his kids' college tuition with a single check.
• His 90-year-old grandmother is even taking part of the action. She recently spent some of the $240,000 she made to secure her retirement home.
• Other locals, like 83-year-old Ben Johnson, pulled in so much money from this gas deposit that they're refusing to let the public know.

I'm going to show you exactly how you, too, could take advantage of this emerging boom ­ right now.

Best part is, you won't need to buy a single acre. . . move to Louisiana. . . or risk a fortune getting started. Heck, you don't even need to leave your house.

In the time it takes to read this letter, you'll know precisely how this once-in-a-lifetime situation started, when to get in, and most importantly, which companies could stuff your bank accounts with mountains of cash by the end of the year.

Could this massive new discovery turn out paying investors like you $123,500 on every $10,000 down?

It happened before...

557%. . . 646%. . . even 1,135%. . . Gains
From a Similar Field ­ 1/8 the Size

Prior to 2002, virtually nobody cared about the massive gas deposit that surrounded the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth Texas. . .

Oil & gas companies knew for years that the giant field stretched more than 5,000-6,000 square miles, encompassing 17 counties.

They also knew it contained up to 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas ­ a giant at the time by anyone's standards.

Getting it out was the problem.

You see, this deposit was hidden 7,500 to 9,500 feet beneath the surface. That depth, mixed with the high temperatures and pressures, was enough to liquefy virtually anything companies sent down to recover it.

To make matters worse, it all remained trapped in the pores of hard sedimentary rocks for the past 350 million years.

Even with the advancement of hydraulic fracturing (forcing water pressure to shatter the rocks and release the gas), it was simply too expensive.

And the tiny amount of gas that came out only added insult to financial ruin. . .

That is, until a seasoned natural gas company from Oklahoma called Devon Energy came along.

Unlike other companies, Devon arrived in Texas with a little trick up its sleeve.

Their plan was to drill a well sideways, a technique called horizontal directional drilling, in which wildcatters drill down to the oil and then kick out their well thousands of feet to the left or right.

Sort of like an underground sprinkler. Here is what it looks like:

 

Matched with the power of hydraulic fracturing, Devon's technique soon revolutionized the entire domestic oil & gas industry.

From their first well in the Lone Star State, they struck pay-dirt.

Gas from shale! And lots of it!

Even though their pumps needed to operate at full throttle, they produced in this once-forsaken area with no problems.

It didn't take long for other outfits around the country to hear about their success.

In an instant, the Great Barnett Shale Play was born. And companies from around the nation raced to get a piece of the action.

Today, thanks to Devon's technological breakthroughs, the Barnett Shale is currently the single largest natural gas producing deposit in the entire country.

You read that right. The largest, highest-producing gas deposit in the country comes from Shale!

Investors who caught the boom in its earliest stages saw even the larger companies like Devon Energy soar 557%, from $18.46 to $121.38. . . and EOG Resources launch 646%, from $18.49 to more than $140.99.

The smaller late-comers to the area proved to make investors even richer, thanks to the critical technology already mastered.

Companies like Carrizo Oil & Gas and Chesapeake Energy blasted an astonishing 1,135% and 1,028%, respectively.

In other words, $10,000 in Devon would have paid you $65,600. . . $10k in EOG Resources and you would already have $74,600. . . $10k in Chesapeake Energy turned into $110,280. . . and by investing in Carrizo Oil & Gas, $10k could have paid you $121,350!

All from a find with just 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Imagine how much money you could have made if you were at the beginning stages of the Barnett Play.

That one spot would have paid you more than 10 TIMES your initial investment ­ from several different companies!

Don't worry if you missed out though. . . You could be looking at the biggest payday of your life ­ very soon!

Largest Gas Deposit in U.S. History
Holds 8 Times More Gas, Much Easier to Extract!

It's called the Haynesville Shale.

And it's quickly becoming the most sought-after energy play in American history.

Much like its already-established neighbor, Haynesville encompasses an area of 5,000 square miles. . . is buried several thousand feet under the ground. . . and requires special techniques ­ only recently made available ­ for extraction.

But that's where the similarities end.

You see, the Haynesville deposit has  EIGHT TIMES MORE GAS than Barnett.

In fact, Haynesville is now the fourth largest single natural gas deposit in the entire world!

World's Largest Gas Deposits

• Asalouyeh, South Pars Gas Field (10000 - 15000)
• Urengoy gas field (10200)
• Marcellus shale (4452-13674)
• Haynesville Shale (7079)
• Iolotan gas field (7000)
• Yamburg gas field (5242)
• Bovanenkovskoe field (4400)
• Leningradskoye field (4000)
• Rusanovskoye field (4000)
• Zapolyarnoye gas field (3500)
• Shtokman field (3200)
• Point Tomson (3000)
• Manas (3000)
• Groningen (2850)
• Arctic field (2762)
• Astrakhanskoye field (2711)
• Anadarko Basin (2650)
• Hassi R'mel (2549)
• West Kamchatka shelf (2300)
• Medvezhye field (2200)
• Yurubchen (2100)
• Hugoton Natural Gas Area (2039)
• Kharasoveiskoye field (1900)
• Orenburgskoe field (1900)
• Kovykta field (1900)
• Karachaganak field, Kazakhstan (1800)
• Dauletabad gas field (1602)
• Jupiter gas field (1000-1600)
• Kyrtael field (1600)
• North Pars (1565)
• Kish Gas Field (1560)
• Ghawar Field (1500)

Even though the Marcellus formation is larger (with several times the amount of gas in Haynesville), it's spread out through several massive deposits.

Haynesville, on the other hand, is in a single spot. The rocks are, quite simply, overstuffed with the gas.

And the final technological breakthroughs needed to make extraction not just possible ­ but extremely profitable ­ hit the market last year.

The moment they did, all the pieces were in place. The Wall Street Journal eagerly reported:

Since then, the area's turned into a genuine land rush. Companies from around the world raced into the area. They're securing every patch of land they can get their hands on.

The feeding frenzy in the area rapidly shot land prices from $20 to more than $20,000. But the companies don't care how much it costs.

Even at $50k, there's so much gas under the soil that they'll pay anything.

Of course, with so many companies securing land in the area, only a few of them actually stand to pay you rapid gains.

In fact, I need to tell you about four companies in there right now. After more than a year of research and two trips to Louisiana, they're what my team calls "the sweet spots."

Each of these four monsters is broken down in amazing detail in my latest report.

It's called Louisiana Land Rush: Profiting from the Largest Gas Deposit in U.S. History.

And I want you to have it, for free!

Here's a short preview of what you'll find inside:

Louisiana Land Rush Company 1:  This little gem currently firmly holds an astonishing 325,000 ripe acres in Haynesville. Their early estimates of gas under the ground are confirmed to potentially hold as much as 14.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Since March, it's up an astounding 51%.

And they've just announced new initiatives that are about to make the company exponentially more efficient!

Louisiana Land Rush Company 2:  This outfit is highly seasoned in shale gas exploration ­ ever since they saw their first massive profits from the Barnett Shale play. And they're thirsty for more. . . especially now that the Barnett play is considered "mature."

Since landing in Haynesville, they've already launched 41%. And even more exciting is that their production is so profitable, they've been forced to recently raise their target growth by another 20% for 2009!

Louisiana Land Rush Company 3:  This little-known company literally defines a shale powerhouse. It's up 66% since March. And they're planning on adding another 14 wells in Haynesville by the end of the year!

We're calling it one of the most attractive unconventional energy plays available to investors ­ hands down!

Louisiana Land Rush Company 4:  You could say this company's ability to generate profits for its investors is as reliable as a Swiss watch! For the past 19 years in a row, they've continuously increased production ­ no matter where they were drilling from.

But in Haynesville, they're known for being one of the very first companies to stake their claims, holding the very best of the best in terms of gas-rich areas. And their share prices prove it: They're already up 80% since things started soaring for them in March.

Amazingly, thanks to their prime locations, each of these companies is already profiting handsomely from their massive chunks in this record deposit.

And they're just getting started!

Like I said, I want to rush you this breaking report, absolutely free!

Why?
Simply put, the sooner you get your hands on it, the sooner you can secure your positions in these companies that could, quite realistically, hand you returns 10 TIMES larger than your original investments!

And time is of absolute essence.

You see, right now, thanks to this new area, natural gas is so explosive that in the beginning of July, The Wall Street Journal reported:

Did you get that?

There was so much buying ­ so many people wanted to claim their early stake in the natural gas market ­ that the giant fund simply ran out of shares!

My friend, the race is on!

Fortunately, for us, we'll be going right to the heart of the very companies that will be skyrocketing from these new finds.

Together, we're going to make an absolute killing.

And I want you to be on board.

But first. . .
Why You Should Hear Me Out. . .

My name is Brian Hicks. I'm the president of the investment research company Angel Publishing.


Recently, I co-authored a book with Chris Nelder, titled Profit From the Peak. In the book, Chris and I go into full detail on tackling the world's energy problems. . . and how investors can maintain financial security in the process.

I can say with confidence that Chris and I know a little more about today's energy markets than your average "oil expert."

You see, Chris is a well-regarded energy expert who has designed and built dozens of solar energy projects. He is a guy who understands the energy market inside and out. . . from energy's worst problems to its brightest solutions.

And for the last decade, Chris and I have preached that investing is the key to solving the world's energy challenges. . . Investments in a multitude of energy practices and technologies that will wean us away from our dependence on oil.

But we're also quick to point out that this blueprint for success also includes the economic harvesting of remaining and unconventional oil and gas sources.

And that's where the companies in the Haynesville Shale play comes in.

Fact is, oil & gas companies are chomping at the bit to set up drill operations in this small patch of northern Louisiana. And you're going to be very glad you got an early piece of the profits, through the $20 Trillion Report.

We've already squarely identified the most profitable companies doing business there. And when the next oil & gas company gets set for a surge in its stock, our subscribers get first dibs on the profit-taking.
