📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Conditional permit approval requiring east setback based on cemented production liner with wet shoe and ability to 'frac out the shoe'. 📄 Permit Information - Stipulations section Specific engineering requirement for completion design (wet shoe sub with rupture pins) that dictates frac operations and equipment selection.	2026-05-08	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Mandatory core and sample submission to ND Geological Survey within strict deadlines (30 days for cuttings, 180 days for cores) with explicit civil penalty warning of $12,500 per day violation.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Letter from ND Mineral Resources dated 5/12/2026 Regulatory enforcement with severe financial penalties for non-compliance creates urgent post-drilling service window for sample handling, packaging, and logistics.	2026-05-12	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Affidavit provided to adjacent operator (Devon Energy Williston, LLC) for entering Bakken Petroleum System outside target spacing unit, with directional plans delivered via FedEx and email on February 3, 2026. 📄 Drilling Permit Affidavit Formal legal notification to competitor with documented delivery, indicating potential unit boundary issues or coordinated development.	2026-02-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Mandatory pre-construction contact with specific NDIC Field Inspector (Dylan Roach at 701-770-1981) prior to location construction. 📄 Permit Information - Stipulations section Personalized regulatory oversight requiring direct coordination with named inspector, indicating heightened scrutiny or specific site concerns.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Anti-collision standards require minimum 1.5 separation factor with exceptions managed by risk assessments and Management of Change (MOC) processes. 📄 Proposed Work - Anti-Collision Statement Reveals formalized risk management protocol (MOC) for anti-collision exceptions, indicating systematic approach to wellbore proximity issues.	Unknown	Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

Execute multi-well pad development with coordinated infrastructure

Well file references five wells on same pad (RS-Jones-156-92-3532H-1 through H-5) with integrated facility design, common access road, and shared civil engineering plans.
Implement aggressive anti-collision measures in dense drilling environment

Anti-collision statement references real-time corrected surveys, gamma ray geo-steering around existing wellbores, and formal risk assessment processes for exceptions to 1.5 separation factor.
Utilize engineered completion design with specific equipment requirements

Permit condition requires cemented liner with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe, and drilling prognosis specifies swell packers for zone isolation with sliding sleeves and/or plug and perf.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Sample/Core Handling & Logistics

Mandatory 30-day deadline for sample submission and 180-day deadline for cores post-drilling creates urgent service window for specialized packaging, drying, and shipping to state library.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Anti-collision requirements in dense field (multiple offset wells identified) necessitate real-time survey corrections, geo-steering, and potential trajectory adjustments during drilling.

Civil Construction & Erosion Control

Detailed engineered pad design with specific material specifications (impermeable dikes, cement stabilization, erosion control blankets) requires specialized contractors familiar with KLJ Engineering plans.

Completion Equipment & Services

Wet shoe sub requirement and swell packer installation for zone isolation create specific equipment needs that must be coordinated with Halliburton's frac operations.
