That is the right well, no doubt. The vertical was a Wildcat exploratory test but it was permitted horizontal in the HA, also.
If you look at the attached picture you can kinda see why they wanted to try this spot... unless you believe in the state line fault, of course. Comstock is NE of Logansport, CHK is SE and Classic is in SE Panola Co. (NW of Joaquin).
Looks to me like the Forest well MAY BE side-tracked (and POSSIBLY they had to call P&A on the original hole) but more likely they plugged back part of the vertical hole and side-tracked into the lateral run. My rig report (not Baker Hughes) shows Patterson rig 523 drilling ahead @ 10,595' on 8-06-10 (Friday). Top of pay on the May #1 was 10,250' in the Center (Haynesville) field.
jfree1----where do you obtain the update of rigs drilling at what depth in texas such as you reported on the Patterson rig 523. Can you share your source?
