📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 3	Anti-collision report (dated 6/3/2026) shows Level 1 (closest) proximity warnings with 'SAFELY TRUST 28-33 1-H' and 'TJELDE 29-32 1-H' wells.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Anticollision Summary Report Recent engineering analysis confirms close proximity to existing wells, requiring precise directional drilling to avoid collisions.	2026-06-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Well is part of a 4-well pad (Albert South 1H-4H) drilled from a surface location in Section 34, but all wells are 'off-spacing' from their target units, requiring a surface use agreement affidavit. 📄 AFFIDAVIT OF SURFACE DAMAGE AGREEMENT, Stipulations (500' setback condition referencing 1600-acre spacing unit) Indicates a pad development strategy that consolidates surface location despite subsurface spacing unit misalignment, requiring specific landowner agreements.	2025-12-15	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Lateral design includes a 'wet shoe' in the production liner with the 'ability to frac out the shoe', noted as the basis for a reduced west boundary setback (150' vs standard 500'). 📄 Stipulations section, Casing Details schematic note Specific completion design feature (wet shoe) directly influences regulatory spacing approval. Indicates planned frac strategy that includes shoe stimulation.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator requested and obtained a waiver of the 3-day waiting period to commence operations, citing a contractual obligation with a civil construction company to start on or around 5/1/2026.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Affidavit to Waive Waiting Period Reveals urgency and pre-committed construction start date, indicating accelerated timeline and potential for early mobilization of services.	Relative	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Explicit directive to contact NDIC Field Inspector Will Ryan (701-770-6684) prior to location construction. 📄 Stipulations section Regulatory pre-construction checkpoint with a named inspector. Non-routine personal directive indicates specific oversight or site-specific conditions.	Unknown	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a tightly scheduled, multi-well pad development with an accelerated timeline.

Waiver of 3-day waiting period requested due to contractual obligation with civil construction company starting ~5/1/2026; affidavit covers 4 wells (1H-4H); anti-collision report dated just days before permit approval (6/3/2026 vs 6/10/2026 approval).
Optimize lateral placement and fracture stimulation design within a constrained spacing unit.

Use of a 'wet shoe' design to enable closer wellbore proximity to west boundary; mention of hydraulic toe sleeve as backup; detailed anti-collision analysis for precise well path placement.
Centralize surface operations and manage complex surface owner relations for an off-spacing pad.

Surface use agreement affidavit for 4 wells from a single surface location not aligned with all target subsurface units; stipulation allows director to approve consolidated production equipment.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil Construction & Pad Building

Contractual start date targeted for on or around 5/1/2026 (past relative to permit date, but shows planned sequence). Immediate need post-permit approval to meet accelerated schedule.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Anti-collision report (6/3/2026) shows Level 1 proximity risks. High-precision drilling required immediately upon spud to navigate crowded wellbore environment.

Completion & Stimulation

Non-standard 'wet shoe' design with ability to 'frac out the shoe' and a backup hydraulic toe sleeve indicates specialized completion planning needed post-drilling.

Waste Management

Pre-selected vendor (IHD Solids Management) for cuttings disposal. Services required as soon as drilling begins with closed-loop system.

Regulatory & Inspection Coordination

Mandatory contact with specific NDIC Field Inspector (Will Ryan) prior to construction. This is a immediate pre-construction gate.
