I don't get an adobe document. Just a web page that only goes up to the current date.

Sonris does not show activity for future dates, you can only use it to check for permits through today's date. I believe that the Conservation Office is pretty good with getting permits posted within a day or two of when they are filed but you cannot use the service to check for a well that will be permitted on a future date, like August 15, 2008.

It is my understanding that the o/g companies do not request a permit for future dates months in advance. Some companies will wait until the last possible second before they request a permit to drill. They like to play things "close to the vest" and do not like to let others know where they plan on drilling. Also, a permit to drill is usually only valid for 6 months. If the well is not drilled within that 6 months, a new permit and a new serial number will have to be issued and paid for by the o/g company.

Good luck in getting an o/g company to tell you their future plans because they sure don't like to do it.
