Are the limited partnership or private corporations still listed in the quarterlies? There is unknown to public knowledge leases that they could pop in at their pleasure like they did East Texas...
They don't make stuff up about what they were looking into, who's to say they don't have some nice for driller leases hidden in those private holdings, just waiting for their drilling to prove itself worthy of not messing up the drill/frac/bring-to-market... I would assume that's why only one East Texas, that after drilling just a few feet they had too much pressure for them to handle not that other big rigs can't and closed off the formation pumping water or whatever in it to drill the length of the plan...
Just an example of how they can make one look bad in saying this is dead.
