No error message.  Regardless of where in the blue link I click, I am returned to the same page I started with.  Maybe another member will be able to provide some feedback.

What operating system and browser are you using?  Do you have pop ups blocked or any security settings that would prevent links from working?

If you right-click on the link in the body of the message, you can try open the linked file in a new window or tab or download the linked file.  If you download the linked file and open it on your computer, do the links work?

I should note that the links are not active in the image file in the body of the post.  You need to open the linked PDF file.

I have tested and confirmed the links in the PDF file work on the following systems and browser:

• IPad - Safari
• iPhone - Safari
• Mac Laptop - Safari, Firefox, and chrome-based browsers
• Desktop PC - Firefox and chrome-based browsers

If you have tried downloading the linked PDF file and opening it on your computer and are still unable to navigate to the links, what PDF reader are you using?

windows and firefox.  We've never had a problem with either.  No pop up blocker in use.  I don't think we have many using Safari.  I just tried it and it still is not working.  Let's wait and see if some other members weigh in.

You have to click the link in the original message.  That brings up the PDF file.  Clicking on the "picture" will not work.

Yes, that's it.  Thanks.  Here is the key to getting the individual applications to open.

I am curious if this is of any interest to people.  I track upcoming hearings regularly and maintain my internal map.  Would there be interest in seeing something like this updated bi-weekly or monthly?

I just tried every link in the table on my phone and they all worked.

Ryan, when you add this application to your discussion, I would care to hear more from you on "U-Turn" wells.  This application from Comstock in the Swan Lake Field hopefully being a good example. I will note that this section is bracketed by a BPX operated HA unit to the north and an EXE HA unit to the south.  If neither of those operators are willing to allow an HC well under the multiple operators per unit allowance, do you think we will see more of these U-Turn wells in those specific instances?

EXCO has allowed this in the past.  015-14N-14W is an EXCO unit but it has a fault running through it.  EXCO has wells (sections 10-15)in the North side of the fault and Comstock has wells in the south (sections 15-22-27).

Yes, this is not the first application for a U-Turn well however this particular location does not appear to have a fault on my maps.  It appears to be a case of Comstock not having the ability to drill an HC well because of the adjoining units.

Skip - I think you will start seeing more U-turn wells in stranded sections.  They have been proven technically (GEP II successfully drilled and completed a U-turn well in DeSoto Parish - I can't recall the S-T-R).  No operators want to drill single-section laterals today. The economics of longer laterals are more attractive.  U-turn wells enable operators to complete ~2-section laterals with a single vertical wellbore.  There are technical challenges during drilling and completion operations, but they can be overcome.  A 10,000ft U-turn well has economics similar to a 7,500ft "straight" lateral.

The GEP U-turn well was not drilled due to faulting either. It was drilled due to a stranded section with no ability to extend the lateral.
