📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	South setback reduced to 150' (vs standard 500') based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe. 📄 Stipulations section Non-standard setback approval indicates tailored engineering solution for pad optimization.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator requested waiver from three-day waiting period for construction/operations after APD approval, citing pad development efficiency.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Affidavit Request for Waiver to Three-Day Waiting Period Indicates urgency to commence operations immediately upon permit approval, bypassing standard regulatory waiting period.	2026-04-06	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Wellbore enters Bakken Petroleum System outside target spacing unit (Sections 19,30,31), requiring directional plan submission to adjacent unit operator, but waiver granted as KODA operates both units. 📄 Letter to Todd Holweger dated April 6, 2026 Demonstrates complex multi-unit development strategy and regulatory navigation for cross-boundary drilling.	2026-04-06	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Anti-collision report shows Level 1 and Level 2 separation factors with offset wells on pad, requiring precise directional control. 📄 KLX Anticollision Report High-density pad drilling with close wellbore proximity demands advanced directional planning and real-time monitoring.	2026-03-31	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Closed mud system with no cuttings pit; all drill cuttings to be disposed at 13 Mile Landfill, Williston, ND. 📄 Stipulations and Drilling Fluids Program Mandates specific waste handling protocol and pre-selected disposal facility.	Unknown	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Operator will submit sundry to waive open hole logs, relying on MWD and cased hole evaluation only. 📄 Drilling Plan - Evaluation Program Deviates from standard logging program, reducing evaluation costs but increasing reliance on MWD and CBL/VDL.	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Maximize pad efficiency by adding 11th well (Altbier 1831-11BH) to existing Altbier 18 pad, developing two 1920-acre DSUs with high working interest (74.32%-85.10%).

Pad layout shows 11 wells; affidavits show high WI; waiver request cites pad development; multi-well plan included.
Accelerate development timeline by waiving standard regulatory waiting periods and minimizing evaluation time (log waivers).

Request for three-day waiting period waiver; plan to waive open hole logs; immediate spud notification requirement.
Implement engineered completion design with cemented production liner and wet shoe to enable reduced setbacks and frac flexibility.

Stipulation notes south setback reduction based on cemented liner with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & MWD

Anti-collision risks are elevated (Level 1/2 separations); KLX Directional already engaged but precision execution is critical for imminent drilling.

Cementing & Completion Services

Wet shoe design and liner cementing are critical for approved reduced setback; frac-out capability required.

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed-loop system mandated; cuttings disposal pre-specified to 13 Mile Landfill; immediate need upon spud.

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Pad expansion to accommodate 11th well; detailed earthwork quantities (88,940 Cu. Yds) and berm construction required prior to operations.
