"Plugback" refers to each completion attempt uphole in a well after an initial completion attempt is made. A plugback is attempted "back" up the hole in a shallower formation (whereas a recompletion attempt deeper than a previous completion(s) is often called a "downhole completion"). A plugback may successfully produce, or not.

smith1,
There was a discussion a while back on why Chesapeake has not reported completions on all the wells in 13N-13W. No one really knew, but many thought is was lack of a pipeline. Since that time, Chesapeake has begun reporting completions in that area (and they are good!). Maybe you'll get a report soon.
Incidentally, Chesapeake has recently reported some good completions near you -- in Secs 5, 7, 8, and 9 of 12N-12W.
