No I'm a realist .. maybe you haven't spoken with many Energy-resources companies mgmt. before but I can promise you they all only talk the positive ..the market however does what it does ... $30Gj - $40Gj is completely insane levels .... only last year Aus east coast Nat gas broke a record just over $10Gj
At present in Canada (which has massive Gas resources) they have seen major increase in gas prices YOY JUNE to C$6.53Gj
WA Aussie A$5.56Gj ..

East coast gas prices in the June quarter ranged from an average of $6.36/GJ to $29.85/GJ, EnergyQuest said, with the bottom of the range marked by the average price received for domestic gas by Origin Energy in the quarter, while the top of the range was the Adelaide wholesale price at $29.85/GJ.
I'd be very surprised if NZO/CUE/CTP can get $30Gj contracted Gas .... yes small amounts on the spot market while the EAST coast has supply issues ... but LNG exporting terminals are getting built ....pipelines installed to fill the high priced markets ...
