📊 Signals (8)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Toe setback based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe 📄 Page 1, Conditions of Approval Specifies wet shoe completion design enabling wireline toe initiation, avoiding tubing/tractor	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Waiver requested for adjacent operator notification (Order 31973) because Enerplus is operator of adjacent spacing unit 📄 Affidavit and notification letter Well pads target off-lease units; operator drilling from surface location outside spacing unit	2026-04-27	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Anticipated commencement date: July 15, 2025⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Section 1.8 Anticipated Starting Dates Specific start date provided in planning documents, not just permit approval date	2025-07-15	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Approval conditional on 150' setback from south boundary at heel and toe, 500' from north, east, and west boundaries within 1280-acre unit 📄 Page 1, Stipulations section Tight boundary constraints indicate pad optimization and potential anti-collision challenges in dense field	Unknown	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Deep-set surface casing required (2140' min); 17-1/2" hole and/or 13-3/8" casing must not penetrate Mowry Formation 📄 Page 2 Unusual casing design with geological constraint; mud logger required from ground to TD of surface hole	Unknown	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Marc Binns (701-220-5989) prior to location construction⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Page 3 Specific inspector named with direct contact requirement; indicates heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific issues	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Multiple Cement Bond Log (CBL) requirements: radial/ultrasonic on 13-3/8" surface casing, on 9-5/8" intermediate prior to setting 7" casing, and standard on 7" casing 📄 Page 2 Enhanced cement verification regimen beyond routine, including zero-pressure pass and wait time for compressive strength	Unknown	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Closed mud system with no cuttings pit; cuttings to be hauled to licensed disposal facility 📄 Page 1 and Licensed Facilities list Mandates dry cuttings handling and off-site disposal at one of 8 named facilities	Unknown	Mud / Fluids

💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad targeting off-lease units from centralized surface location

Affidavit confirms Surface Use Agreement for Lots 7-10, Section 4 to drill Magnum 5301 36 4BHP and Magnum 5301 36 6BX into off-lease units
Implement cost-saving completion design using wet shoe for wireline toe initiation

Wet shoe configuration described to avoid tubing/tractor perforating; design detailed in wellbore schematic
Prioritize anti-collision in dense field with existing wellbores

Anti-collision statement details multiple precautions: AC guidance reporting, real-time corrected surveys, 1.2 separation factor, gamma ray signatures; anticollision report lists 50+ offset wells

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Complex trajectory with tight boundary setbacks and dense offset wells; requires precise MWD surveys at specified frequencies (100' vertical, 30' curve, 90' lateral)

Cementing & CBL Logging

Multiple mandatory CBL runs with specific protocols; deep surface casing requires specialized cement job design and verification

Mud Logging

Required on-site from ground level to TD of 17-1/2" surface hole with 30' sample intervals

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed mud system mandates dry cuttings hauling to licensed facilities; list of 8 pre-approved disposal sites provided

Completion Services

Wet shoe design enables wireline toe initiation; frac services needed with ability to frac out shoe
