📊 Signals (7)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Well is subject to a 'wet shoe' liner completion design with specific frac isolation procedures for Stage 1. 📄 WET SHOE SCHEMATIC and Discussion Non-standard completion technique requiring precise cement over-displacement and wireline plug setting to isolate the uncemented annulus at the toe. Indicates a deliberate choice to enable wireline operations but adds complexity and risk.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Location is within Tioga's Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction, triggering extensive site-specific stipulations (closed mud system, impermeable liner, fence, berm, cased rat/mouse holes, etc.). 📄 STIPULATIONS section (Municipality) Urban-adjacent drilling imposes non-routine environmental and safety controls, increasing cost and complexity. Requires pre-spud inspection by NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford.	2026-06-15	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Permit modification to change surface hole to 17.5", surface casing to 13-3/8", and add a Dakota string (12.25" hole) after initial permit approval. 📄 PROPOSED WORK section Indicates a late-stage design change, suggesting operational learning, unexpected subsurface conditions, or equipment availability issues. This creates a window for casing and cementing vendors.	2026-06-15	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Affidavit discloses gas marketing discussions with Chord Energy and Hess, targeting first production ~7/1/2026 and combined peak gas rate of 4,600 Mcf/d.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 AFFIDAVIT OF INFORMATION Rare explicit disclosure of midstream negotiations, projected timing, and volume commitments ahead of drilling. Shows operator's confidence in productivity and need for gas takeaway planning.	2025-10-24	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Drillback waiver filed because Murex is the operator of the adjacent spacing unit its wellbore will traverse. 📄 DRILLBACK WAIVER Reveals a multi-well pad strategy where wellbores cross into adjacent units all operated by Murex, simplifying regulatory compliance and indicating consolidated acreage control.	2025-10-23	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Explicit anti-collision warning with 'No-Go Zone - Stop Drilling' for offset wells Leann Rae 28-33H and Vanessa Abigail 33-28H.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Anticollision Report Summary High-risk proximity to existing wellbores requires real-time monitoring and possible trajectory adjustments during drilling. This is a critical operational constraint.	2025-10-20	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Waiver applied for open hole logs; drilling designated as a 'TIGHT HOLE' with restricted data access. 📄 ELECTRIC LOGGING PROGRAM and SECURITY & COMMUNICATIONS Operator intends to limit geologic data collection and control information dissemination, suggesting competitive sensitivity or reliance on offset data.	Unknown	Regulatory / Permitting

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with precise well spacing and anti-collision management to efficiently drain a large, controlled acreage position.

Pad includes six Murex wells; drillback waiver shows Murex operates all adjacent units; anti-collision report shows detailed planning for close-proximity drilling on the same pad.
Minimize data exposure and control operational secrecy during the drilling phase.

Declaration of well as a 'TIGHT HOLE' with restricted rig floor access and waiver requested for open hole logs.
Employ a specific, albeit more complex, completion design ('wet shoe') to facilitate wireline operations and manage fracture initiation near a section boundary.

Detailed schematic and discussion of wet shoe design, including planned frac plug placement to isolate the shoe, tied to the stated east setback rationale.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil Construction & Site Preparation

Stipulations require immediate action: contact NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford prior to location construction, install impermeable liner, fence, perimeter berm, and case rat/mouse holes. This is a pre-spud, time-critical activity.

Directional Drilling & Real-Time Surveying

Anti-collision report shows 'No-Go Zone' risks with existing wells. High-precision directional control and real-time monitoring are required immediately upon drilling to avoid collisions.

Casing & Cementing Services

Permit modification confirms larger surface and intermediate strings. The wet shoe liner design requires precise cement job execution. These are imminent needs following spud.

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance

Location within Tioga's ETJ triggers unique stipulations (closed mud system, H2S plan, spill plan). Compliance services needed before and during spud to avoid work stoppages.
