📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Use of wet shoe sub with rupture pins and plug chamber for cemented liner, allowing frac-out of the shoe, followed by plug-and-perf for all subsequent stages. 📄 Completion & Perforation and Drilling Prognosis Non-routine completion design choice enabling efficient multi-stage fracturing without re-entry, differing from standard cemented liners.	Relative	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Estimated spud date for the first well on the pad, with subsequent wells spaced approximately 13 days apart.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Drilling Permit Affidavit Specifies a sequenced drilling schedule for a multi-well pad, indicating operational persistence and phased development strategy.	2026-09-13	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Permit approved with conditions requiring coordination with adjacent spacing unit operator Devon Energy Williston, LLC, including provision of directional drilling and completion plans.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit Information and Drilling Permit Affidavit Reveals operator intent to drill across unit boundaries, requiring pre-drilling regulatory compliance and inter-operator coordination, which is non-routine for standard permits.	2026-02-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Civil design and survey completed, with plat certified by land surveyor Eric L. Hearon. 📄 Horizontal Section Plat and Professional Land Surveyor Certification Confirms finalized surface layout and coordinates, enabling construction start, which is a prerequisite for drilling in this field.	2025-11-06	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Anti-collision standards include gamma ray geo-steering around existing wellbores and surveys every 93'-100' with increased frequency as needed. 📄 Anti-Collision Statement Exceeds standard NDIC survey frequency (100 ft vertical, 30 ft curve, 90 ft lateral), indicating heightened risk mitigation in dense field.	Unknown	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Pad construction requires impermeable dikes and base material, remote shutoff devices, and spill contingency plan prior to spudding. 📄 Stipulations and Operator Assertions Imposes pre-spud environmental safeguards beyond basic permits, reflecting regulatory pressure on groundwater protection.	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Develop a multi-well horizontal pad targeting the Bakken Formation while navigating adjacent spacing units and ensuring anti-collision compliance.

Permit application for 5 wells on shared spacing unit, affidavit to Devon for adjacent unit access, and detailed anti-collision plan.
Employ advanced completion technologies to optimize fracturing efficiency and minimize operational downtime.

Specification of wet shoe sub for frac-out capability and plug-and-perf method for subsequent stages.
Prioritize environmental and safety compliance to mitigate regulatory risks in groundwater-sensitive areas.

Requirements for impermeable pad materials, remote shutoffs, spill plans, and pre-spud notifications.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Drilling and completion services

Estimated spud in September 2026 creates immediate opportunity for rig mobilization, MWD surveys, and frac equipment; sequenced pad drilling suggests sustained demand.

Civil and environmental services

Pad construction with impermeable materials and erosion controls needed prior to spud; survey completion in November 2025 indicates readiness for earthwork and spill prevention contracts.

Regulatory and planning services

Affidavit to adjacent operator in February 2026 and permit approval in April 2026 signal urgency for inter-operator coordination and permit processing services.
