📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Waiver granted for tubing/packer requirement during completion, with assurances on casing burst rating, frac design safety factor, and monitoring for damage. 📄 SUNDRY FORM FOR WELL FILE NO.: 41776 DESCRIPTION (OPERATOR) - Continental Resources requests waiver from NDIC 43-82-03-21 tubing/pkr requirement. Deviation from standard casing and tubing requirements, potentially to accelerate completion or reduce costs, not routine in Middle Bakken operations.	2025-09-24	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Remote stimulation planned using Rose Federal 2-34H and 3-34H pads with temporary 5.5" 23# P-110 casing, pressure testing to 9500 psi, thermal cameras for leak detection, and freshwater for stim operations.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 SUNDRY FORM FOR WELL FILE NO.: 41776 DESCRIPTION (OPERATOR) - Continental Resources requests approval to use the Rose Federal 2-34H and 3-34H pads. Non-standard remote stimulation setup across multiple pads, indicating operational efficiency or cost-saving measures not typical for single-pad stimulations.	2025-10-05	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Suspension of drilling for up to 90 days to set surface casing with smaller rig (Noble 1) before larger rig (Patterson 264) arrives on 9/09/2025.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 SUNDRY FORM FOR WELL FILE NO.: 41776 DESCRIPTION (OPERATOR) - Continental Resources requests suspension of drilling under NDAC 43-02-03-55. Two-phase drilling approach with rig swap, optimizing for cost savings by using smaller rig initially, not standard for horizontal Bakken wells.	2025-09-09	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Waiver for open hole logs, using offsetting well Rose Federal 34X-34C data within 1 mile. 📄 SUNDRY FORM FOR WELL FILE NO.: 41776 DESCRIPTION (OPERATOR) - Continental Resources requests waiver for open hole logs under NDIC Rule 43-02-03-31. Substitution of logs from nearby well, indicating confidence in regional data consistency, not routine for permit approvals.	2025-04-30	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Waiver for drill cutting samples in vertical portion, collecting from offsetting well Rose Federal 2-34H instead. 📄 SUNDRY FORM FOR WELL FILE NO.: 41776 DESCRIPTION (OPERATOR) - Continental Resources requests waiver for collection of samples from Lower Charles Salt to KOP. Reliance on offsetting well data for vertical samples, reducing on-site sampling needs, uncommon in new well permits.	2025-04-30	Mud / Fluids

💡 Operator Intent

Cost optimization through waivers, phased drilling, and remote stimulation to reduce operational expenses.

Multiple waivers for samples, logs, and containers; suspension for smaller rig use; remote stim across pads.
Efficiency in completion by waiving tubing/packer and using offsetting data for logs and samples.

Waiver for tubing/packer with safety assurances; reliance on nearby well data for vertical logs and samples.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Stimulation and pressure testing services

Remote stimulation window from 10-05-25 to 11-03-25 requires specialized equipment for temporary casing, pressure testing to 9500 psi, and leak detection with thermal cameras.

Rig and drilling services

Rig swap anticipated on 9/09/2025, with Patterson 264 for main drilling, creating opportunity for rig mobilization and phased operations.

Mud logging and geosteering

Ongoing during drilling from 8/23/25 to 8/29/25, with vendors like Sudbrink, Columbine, Badger, and Taktikal actively engaged.
