Not on SONRIS.  The unit well prior to the drilling of any subsequent alternate unit wells is the only time you can tie production to a single well in a drilling unit.  All alternate wells that are drilled later are simply added to the continuing total unit production.  There are subscription services that do report production by individual unit well but they do not get that data from the state and the cost is prohibitive for most mineral lessors.

Thank you for the answer Skip.  With the drilling of multiple long horizontal wells from a single well pad I was just curious as to if they were performing anywhere close to equal.

Generally speaking, yes. If you want to keep up with completion results for the new version long lateral wells, the best way to do that is to go to the websites of the companies active in the play and sign up for email alerts.  It is common for those companies to delay reporting a completed well, or wells, especially impressive ones, to the state until they have announced it in a press release or a corporate presentation. Publicly traded energy companies publish quarterly reports on financial and operating data.  Those reports usually are made public 30 to 60 days after the quarter closes.
