📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval granted under Commission Order No. 35267 with specific 150' north/south and 500' east/west setbacks within 2400-acre spacing unit, requiring production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe. 📄 STIPULATIONS - Conditions of Approval Non-standard setback requirements and wet shoe design indicate tailored regulatory compliance for infill drilling in a defined pool, differing from typical Bakken permits.	2026-04-02	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Anti-collision precautions include AC guidance from certified planners, real-time corrected surveys, 1.5 separation factor, gamma ray geo-steering around existing laterals, and surveys every 93-100 ft increasing as needed. 📄 PROPOSED WORK - Anti-Collision Statement Detailed anti-collision strategy with gamma ray geo-steering and frequent surveys is advanced and not routine for all horizontal wells, indicating high-density infill development.	2026-04-02	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Closed mud system with no cuttings pit, remote/automatic shutoff devices, and specific NDIC Field Inspector contact (Dylan Roach) for location construction.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Construction Commencement Notification Environmental and safety measures exceed basic permit requirements, specifying inspector contact and equipment, not standard in all NDIC filings.	2026-04-02	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Anti-collision report shows minimum separation factors as low as 0.013 (Level 1) with nearby wells like RS-Aadnes-157-91-2829H-1, using ISCWS A error model and pedal curve method. 📄 Anticollision Report Quantitative anti-collision analysis with specific factors and methods is non-routine, revealing proximity to offset wells and risk mitigation strategies.	2025-07-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Affidavit confirms Halliburton Energy Services used for hydraulic fracturing without specified diesel fuels (CAS 68334-30-5, etc.), covering all Hess Bakken wells. 📄 Hydraulic Fracturing Stimulation using Diesel Fuels affidavit Explicit vendor selection for stimulation and diesel-free assurance is a pre-selected contractor choice, not implied in basic permit data.	2022-04-21	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Pursue high-density infill drilling with advanced anti-collision and environmental controls to optimize recovery in the Ross-Bakken Pool while minimizing regulatory delays.

Specific setbacks, wet shoe design, closed mud system, gamma ray geo-steering, and anti-collision report with low separation factors indicate intent for precise, dense lateral placement in a spacing unit.
Commit to Halliburton for stimulation services with diesel-free assurance to ensure consistent, compliant completions across multiple wells.

Affidavit explicitly names Halliburton and lists excluded diesel CAS numbers, covering all Bakken wells, showing long-term vendor preference.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling and Surveying

With anti-collision report dated July 2025 and permit approval in April 2026, services are needed immediately for pre-spud planning and real-time execution to meet 93-100 ft survey frequency.

Hydraulic Fracturing

Halliburton pre-selected, with spud notification required upon commencement, creating urgency for frac crews and proppant logistics post-drilling.

Environmental and Waste Management

Closed mud system and filter sock container requirements effective June 2014 but reaffirmed, signal ongoing need for waste disposal services during operations starting soon after approval.
