📊 Signals (7)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 3	Mandatory core and sample collection required by State Geologist, with strict intervals and shipping deadlines (30 days for cuttings, 180 days for cores).⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Letter from Ross Edison, Geologist, dated 11/17/2025 Regulatory mandate with specific collection protocols and tight deadlines post-drilling. Non-compliance carries civil penalties up to $12,500 per day.	2025-11-17	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Open hole log waiver approved based on offset well data, with GR-CBL to be run from TD to ground level instead. 📄 Sundry Form for Request for Consideration/Waiver (Open Hole Log Waiver) Operator is avoiding full open hole logging suite, reducing logging costs and time, relying on offset well #19039 within a mile. Indicates a data-driven efficiency play.	2025-11-12	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Spud notification required within 3 business days via Sundry Notice, including drilling contractor and rig number.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit Conditions of Approval (Page 2) Creates a firm, short deadline for reporting spud details. The rig number (H&P #515) is already identified in a separate spud notification.	2025-11-12	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford (701-946-8204) prior to location construction. 📄 Permit Conditions of Approval (Page 2) Specific inspector named for pre-construction contact, indicating heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific sensitivities.	2025-11-12	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Permit includes a 500' setback from north/south boundaries, 150' from west, but only 50' from east boundary due to a fully cemented production liner shoe with 'no ability to frac out the shoe'. 📄 Permit Conditions of Approval (Page 2) Unusually tight 50' east setback is engineered and approved based on specific cementing design that eliminates risk of frac communication. This is a non-standard regulatory accommodation.	2025-11-12	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Anticollision report shows a Level 1 warning with offset well JORGENSON 158-94-2B-11-1HS at 117.72 ft center-to-center and a separation factor of 0.83 at TD. 📄 Anticollision Report Summary Extremely close proximity to an existing wellbore (Level 1 warning) indicates high-risk drilling environment requiring precise directional control.	2025-11-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Affidavit confirms surface location is outside designated spacing unit, requiring surface use agreement with landowners and notification to adjacent unit operator (Hess). 📄 Affidavit by Michael Dewald dated 10/29/2025 and Affidavit by Derick J. Roller dated 11/22/2022 Surface access complexities: pad is on land not part of the drilling unit, necessitating separate surface leases and regulatory compliance (Order No. 31973).	2025-10-29	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Optimize drilling efficiency and reduce costs by waiving routine open hole logs, relying on offset data.

Approved waiver request states offset well has sufficient logs, and only a GR-CBL will be run.
Execute a high-density, precision drilling program on a multi-well pad with close wellbore spacing.

Anticollision report shows very close proximity to other wells (including a sister well 4C-3-4H on same pad) and Level 1 warnings. Pad layout drawings show multiple well slots.
Ensure superior zonal isolation to allow for regulatory exceptions (tight setback).

Permit's 50' east setback is explicitly granted due to a 'fully cemented production liner shoe with no ability to frac out the shoe.'
Utilize advanced completion technology for efficient stimulation access.

Completion schematic includes Nine Energy Service QuickStart toe sleeves with rupture discs, designed for plug-and-perf operations after initial sleeve activation.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Coring & Sample Management

Mandatory state requirement with 30-day deadline after drilling completion for cuttings and 180 days for cores. Immediate need for collection, processing, and shipping services.

Precision Directional Drilling & MWD

Level 1 anticollision risks require high-accuracy wellbore placement. Services are critical for safe drilling execution, especially near TD.

Cementing & Zonal Isolation

Critical to permit conditions (50' setback) and well integrity. Halliburton is pre-selected, but backup or specialty additive providers could be secondary opportunities.

Location Construction & Earthwork

Pad construction must be preceded by contact with specific NDIC inspector (Robert Stafford). Excavation and embankment quantities are detailed (20,849 CY cut), indicating imminent ground work.

Waste Hauling & Filter Sock Management

Permit requires closed mud system, cuttings hauled to approved facilities (IHD or PDI), and on-site leak-proof container for filter socks from spud through flowback.
