📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Specific cementing design with 'wet shoe' at production liner to enable 'ability to frac out the shoe' as part of west setback justification. 📄 PERMIT INFORMATION - Stipulations (Bakken Setback Summary Statement) Engineering design choice directly tied to regulatory setback compliance. Intentional non-isolation of shoe track for future frac access.	2024-10-30	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator requested and received waiver for open hole logs, relying on offset well Sather 1 (NDIC #10424) data instead. 📄 WELL SUNDRY FORM - Request for Consideration/Waiver Deviates from standard NDIC Rule 43-02-03-31 requiring porosity/resistivity logs. Indicates operator confidence in existing subsurface data and intent to reduce logging costs/time.	2026-07-01	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	APD renewal requested in November 2025, extending permit expiration from October 30, 2025.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 WELL SUNDRY FORM - Request to Perform Work (Permit Renewal) Indicates original permit was nearing expiration without spud, suggesting project delays or strategic timing adjustments.	2025-11-06	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Spud notification required to NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford (701-946-8204) prior to location construction. 📄 PERMIT INFORMATION - Stipulations (Construction Commencement Notification) Specific inspector named for pre-spud contact, indicating heightened regulatory oversight or location-specific conditions.	2024-10-30	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Drill-back into adjacent spacing unit (158-94-35) planned, with waiver requested from NDIC Order 31973 notification requirements because Silver Hill operates both units. 📄 Drill-Back Offset Operator Notification letter Non-standard trajectory crossing unit boundaries. Operator leveraging common ownership to streamline regulatory process.	2024-10-29	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Closed-loop drilling system specified with no pit; cuttings to be hauled to named disposal sites (Prairie Disposal primary, Indian Hills Disposal secondary, Dishon Disposal tertiary). 📄 Operator Statements for NDIC APD - Closed-Loop / 'No Pit' Explicit waste handling protocol with pre-selected disposal vendors. Eliminates onsite reserve pit.	Unknown	Mud / Fluids

💡 Operator Intent

Execute multi-well pad development with coordinated timing and shared infrastructure.

Document references '3 wells total' on a 'new proposed well pad', with detailed pad layout, shared production facilities, and anti-collision planning with other pad wells (Double-R Sarah, Double-R Paige).
Minimize logging costs and operational time by leveraging existing subsurface data from offset well.

Requested and received waiver for open hole logs based on Sather 1 well data, opting only for GR-CBL, CBL, and mud logs.
Maintain flexibility to frac out of the production liner shoe.

Cementing design specifies 'wet shoe' and 'ability to frac out the shoe' as part of the west setback compliance strategy.
Adhere to strict environmental and waste management protocols.

Explicit statements on closed-loop drilling, no pit, pre-selected disposal sites, filter sock container compliance, and containment liner specifications.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Complex well path with drill-back into adjacent unit, precise anti-collision requirements with nearby wells, and specific survey frequency mandates. High precision needed.

Cementing

Specific cement design with 'wet shoe' for future frac access. Surface casing job already awarded to American Cementing, but production liner cementing opportunity may exist.

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed-loop system with no pit creates continuous need for cuttings hauling to named disposal facilities (Prairie, Indian Hills, Dishon).

Pad Construction & Earthwork

New 3-well pad requiring ~30,820 cu yds cut, 5,860 cu yds fill, and specific compaction requirements. UELS already engaged for design.

Stimulation (Fracing)

Well design allows for 'frac out the shoe'. Operator must notify offset operators 21-31 days before stimulation. Diesel frac fluid explicitly prohibited.
