Loud hissing sound from a gas well

This well http://sonlite.dnr.state.la.us/sundown/cart_prod/cart_con_wellinfo2... was making a loud hissing sound like a large amount of air or gas escaping sometime around 1/6/2010 or so. It seems to be too early to be fracking.

It was pretty loud from 1/4 mile away or so. It stopped and started a time or two. It was probably "on" for an hour or two.

Anyone have any ideas what it would be? They are planning a lateral, but would they be venting gas as part of the process? Or perhaps an accidental venting?

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
