If they were recently spud as you say the rigs may still be drilling--- Check with Les B he can mostlikely till you if rigs are still on site--- one day when they completed drilling then they will have to be Frac and completed-- who know how long before operator does that for he may leave it un frac until gas prices improve some--- then after completed will be several months before any thing reported to RRC for public info (That will vary depending on who the operator is) If you are in area you can go by and see if rigs are drilling and then one day you will see all the equipment and Frac tanks move in to complete the well. If you have minerals in the leased unit you may can go on site and talk to the Supervisor drilling well for info

We are in Baton Rouge.  My wife's property is 1 and  1/2 to 2 miles to the east.  We were trying to find what information is publicly available.  (Apparently, the Office of Conservation here requires much more information to be put out than the RRC does.)

Thomas--- that is correct La. Sonris require more detail timely reporting that Tx RRC--- They (TX RRC) require only the date that  surface casing is set after well spud ( Must call or email RRC within 24 hours) and first production within 60 days well goes into production, but this is not necessary put online timely. They do not enforce this rule very strong-- penalty would be no permits for new well until data reported but as I say very relaxed about reports--  only way data can be obtained is call the District office of that District and sometimes they will tell you what data they have. The best info is obtained at well head on site if gate is not locked-- go look at the gauges for production real time on the well.

I have an undivided interest in the Hope Surveys around Pine Island on Caddo... let me know if you see any  activity around there... last lease was Amoco / BP in the 70s...
