Tier Signal Date Service Impact
Tier 3 Landowner notifications sent via certified mail on March 17, 2026, for wells within 1/4 mile, with deliveries confirmed in early 2026.โฐ TIME-SENSITIVE
๐Ÿ“„ Appendix E and USPS tracking
Timely notifications indicate adherence to strict timelines, revealing operator's focus on minimizing delays in permitting.
2026-03-17 General Oilfield Services
Tier 3 Freshwater well sampling conducted on January 26, 2026, with results from Pace Analytical Services, indicating proactive baseline monitoring.โฐ TIME-SENSITIVE
๐Ÿ“„ Appendix B and lab reports
Sampling ahead of operations shows urgency in regulatory compliance and environmental baseline establishment, especially near aquifers.
2026-01-26 General Oilfield Services
Tier 3 Use of oil-based mud (OBM) for drilling below surface casing, with closed-loop cuttings disposal to Smoky Butte Environmental, LLC.
๐Ÿ“„ Drilling Fluids and Cuttings Program
OBM is non-routine for SWD wells, suggesting environmental or drilling efficiency priorities; specified disposal vendor indicates pre-selected ecosystem partner.
Unknown Mud / Fluids
Tier 3 Directional drilling plan for SWD well, including anti-collision modeling and specific survey frequencies (100 ft vertical, 30 ft curve, 90 ft lateral).
๐Ÿ“„ Proposed Drilling Plan section
SWD wells are typically vertical, but this directional design indicates intent for optimized placement on a multi-well pad, potentially reducing surface footprint and enabling shared infrastructure.
Unknown Directional Drilling
Tier 3 Tank diking variance approved contingent on as-built schematic submission, with geomembrane liner and 3' high metal containment.
๐Ÿ“„ Operator Assertions and Facilities Design
Variance approval suggests negotiated regulatory flexibility, with enhanced containment indicating environmental sensitivity.
Unknown General Oilfield Services
Tier 3 Facilities equipped with 24-hour SCADA monitoring, including tank high-level alarms, separator alarms, and ESDVs, with SPCC plan implementation within 6 months.
๐Ÿ“„ Facilities Design and Spill Prevention Monitoring Controls
Advanced automation and spill prevention beyond basic regulatory requirements, indicating proactive risk management, especially near Lake Sakakawea.
Relative General Oilfield Services
Tier 3 Injection into Inyan Kara Formation with specific pressure calculations (max 1422 psi) and no plans for third-party volumes initially.
๐Ÿ“„ Maximum Injection Pressure Calculation and Proposed Injection Program
Target formation choice and volume limits suggest tailored design for on-pad wells, avoiding external sourcing to control costs and quality.

๐Ÿ’ก Operator Intent

๐Ÿ”ง Service Operator Relevance

Directional drilling and surveying services
Directional SWD with anti-collision modeling indicates immediate need for MWD tools and planning software, especially with survey frequencies specified.
Environmental monitoring and disposal
Freshwater sampling completed January 2026, with cuttings disposal to Smoky Butte; signals ongoing demand for lab analysis and waste handling as operations ramp.
Facilities automation and spill prevention
SCADA installation and SPCC plan due within 6 months; provides opportunity for vendors to supply monitoring systems ahead of commissioning.
Regulatory compliance support
Landowner notifications and variance approvals highlight need for expedited services; timing of March 2026 filings suggests urgency for similar projects.
