📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Implemented 'wet shoe' liner configuration with intentional over-displacement for toe initiation, avoiding wireline perforating. 📄 Completion & Perforation Details Non-standard liner setup optimizes frac operations, reducing complexity and cost compared to traditional methods.	Relative	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Utilized Starsteer software for wellbore steering with 12-foot target window in Middle Bakken, achieving 100% exposure to ideal target. 📄 Geological Summary - Horizontal Wellbore Specific software choice for precise targeting implies advanced geosteering capabilities, beyond basic MWD.	2025-10-18	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Drilling paused for TOOH at 10,804' MD due to low build rates, resuming after 3 hours, with landing target adjusted downward at Lodgepole marker.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Geological Summary - Curve Section Operational adjustment mid-curve suggests real-time steering challenges, not pre-planned, potentially impacting timeline and costs.	2025-10-16	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Well spudded on a five-well pad, with specific pad construction using existing materials and scoria surfacing, including indirect heater exemption. 📄 Permit Application and Facility Statement Pad design emphasizes efficiency and environmental compliance, with multi-well setup indicating batch development intent.	2025-09-14	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator requested and received waiver for open hole logs, citing sufficient offset well data within 1 mile, allowing GR-CBL run from TD to surface instead. 📄 Sundry Notice for Open Hole Log Waiver Non-standard logging approach deviates from typical NDIC requirements, potentially reducing costs and accelerating operations by leveraging offset data.	2025-05-20	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Anti-collision report shows minimum separation factors as low as 1.913 with adjacent wells, using Chord guidance and gamma ray signatures. 📄 Anti-Collision Report Tight spacing on pad requires precise collision avoidance, indicating high-density development strategy.	2023-10-11	Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

Maximize reservoir contact in Middle Bakken with 100% exposure while minimizing costs through waivers, efficient pad design, and non-standard completions.

Waiver for open hole logs, five-well pad with material reuse, wet shoe liner, and precise geosteering to ideal target.
Prioritize operational efficiency and safety in high-density pad drilling, with rapid adjustments to drilling parameters.

TOOH for build rates, anti-collision measures with low separation factors, and H2S monitoring protocols.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Completion and fracturing services

Well reached TD on 2025-10-21 and is awaiting completion, with wet shoe setup indicating immediate need for pump-down perforating and frac initiation.

Geosteering and directional drilling support

Recent drilling adjustments (e.g., TOOH on 2025-10-16) suggest ongoing demand for real-time steering expertise in similar Bakken horizontals.
