Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval conditional on 150' north/south and 500' east/west setbacks within 1920-acre spacing unit, with north setback based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe 📄 Stipulations section, page 1 Specific setback requirements tied to completion design (wet shoe) and ability to frac out shoe, indicating regulatory focus on wellbore placement and completion integrity	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator submitted backbuild order waiver request for 12-well pad (CANDY FERRARI and GINA FERRARI wells) citing Phoenix Energy as offset operator of adjacent sections 📄 Letter from Phoenix Energy dated February 5, 2026 Shows operator proactively managing regulatory requirements for multi-well pad where wells enter Bakken outside target spacing unit; cites internal company relationship (Phoenix Energy) to streamline notification	2026-02-05	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Well must be drilled in conjunction with another well meeting 1220' setback from east/west spacing unit boundaries to justify spacing unit 📄 Page 2 Spacing unit justification depends on drilling another well with specific setbacks, indicating pad development coordination and regulatory interdependence	Unknown	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford prior to location construction⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Stipulations section, page 1 Specific inspector named with direct contact requirement before construction begins, indicating heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific concerns	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Execute large-scale, coordinated pad development with 12 wells (CANDY FERRARI and GINA FERRARI series) from single location

Backbuild order waiver request letter references 12 wells on pad; pad layout shows multiple well slots; spacing unit justification requires drilling another well
Implement specific completion design using wet shoe with ability to frac out shoe to meet regulatory setback requirements

Stipulation explicitly ties north setback approval to production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe
Pre-select and lock in key service vendors before permit approval

Drill cuttings disposal vendor explicitly named in permit; survey/engineering and directional design vendors identified in drawings and reports
