So it looks as if the Kunde#2 well has not been drilled (to full depth) yet!
The following is on the RRC website under the Kunde#2 permit details.
This permit has moved from 'Engineering' to 'State Wide Rule Hold' catagory.
Two new documents (interestingly both dated 29th Oct 2007!)have appeared today, the main document of interest:
