📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 3	Operator requested and received waiver to run tubing and packer, planning to flow up 7" casing after frac completion. 📄 WELL SUNDRY FORM - Request for Consideration/Waiver Non-standard completion design indicates intent to accelerate production and reduce costs by eliminating tubing string installation initially. Shows operator confidence in casing integrity and flowback monitoring.	2026-07-20	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Lateral section experienced lost circulation issues affecting curve landing, requiring short-landing into Middle Bakken. 📄 GEOLOGIC SUMMARY Lost circulation forced operational compromise on landing point. Indicates challenging pressure regimes in target zone.	2025-11-08	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Original wellbore had surface casing shoe track break off and required sidetrack after multiple cement plugs and junk isolation. 📄 GEOLOGIC SUMMARY Significant drilling problem requiring sidetrack, multiple cement plugs, and operational delays. Indicates potential casing wear or mechanical issues in offset wells.	2025-10-31	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Operator used two-rig strategy: small rig (T&S Drilling Rig #2) for surface hole, then larger rig (NABORS B21) within 90 days for main drilling. 📄 WELL SUNDRY FORM - Suspension of Drilling Cost-saving approach using smaller rig for surface section with specific regulatory approval (SOD). Shows planned rig sequencing and pad optimization.	2025-08-01	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Open hole log waiver granted based on offset well Lee 8-5H 1 within one mile, with only GR-CBL planned from TD to surface. 📄 WELL SUNDRY FORM - Open Hole Log Waiver Regulatory exception reduces logging costs and time. Indicates operator reliance on existing subsurface data from offset.	2025-06-10	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	State required specific sample collection protocol: 30' intervals in vertical/build sections, 200' in lateral, with submission deadline 30 days after drilling completion.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 CORES AND SAMPLES letter Regulatory mandate with strict timing for sample submission. Non-compliance carries significant penalties.	2025-06-02	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Optimize pad development with multi-well pad strategy to reduce costs and surface disturbance.

Well is part of four-well pad (Oakland 154-89-7-6H-3, 8-6H-1, 17-19H-1, 17-20H-1) with shared infrastructure and access roads designed by KLJ Engineering.
Accelerate production timing by eliminating initial tubing installation and flowing up casing.

Tubing/packer waiver request states intent to flow up 7" casing after frac completion, with production equipment installed 'as soon as possible after well ceases flowing'.
Minimize logging costs while maintaining regulatory compliance through waivers.

Open hole log waiver granted based on offset well data, reducing wireline logging to only GR-CBL from TD to surface.
Implement cost-saving drilling approach using smaller rig for surface section before moving to larger rig.

Suspension of Drilling (SOD) request outlines two-rig strategy to 'take advantage of cost savings and time savings'.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Flowback and Production Monitoring

Tubing/packer waiver approved for flow up casing requires pressure monitoring equipment and flowback personnel on location during operations. Immediate need post-frac.

Cementing and Plugging Services

Multiple cement plugs required for sidetrack and junk isolation. Similar issues may occur in offset wells with casing wear problems.

Lost Circulation Materials

Lateral section experienced lost circulation affecting curve landing. Mitigation products and services needed for future wells in area.

Sample Handling and Shipping

State-mandated sample collection with 30-day submission deadline after drilling completion. Ongoing requirement for all wells.

Fishing and Sidetrack Services

Surface casing shoe track breakage required junk removal and sidetrack operations. Similar mechanical issues may recur.
