It's good to see continued interest in exploring the CV/LCV Sands in 18N-2W by Nadel & Gussman Ruston and Linn Operating.  Since announcement of the Range/MRD merger that has been little activity to the east of the Terryville Complex although MRD continues with it's three Jackson Parish wells.

The Woodard 13H completion report is a good example of the long and inexplicable delays in reporting by MRD.  The well reached total depth 6/15/14, was completed and then potential tested 8/17/14, reported Shut-In 4/22/16 and finally reported as complete(by Wildhorse although this is an MRD well) 7/16/16.  See cut-and-paste from SONRIS Well File, Scout Info section below.

The fact that this well was approved for severance tax exemption under the state's horizontal well incentive program in November of 2014 is also curious.  Should operating companies receive the benefit of the program without the requirement to timely file a WH-1 completion form? As of this date (two years after completion), there is still no WH-1 entered in the well file.
