📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval condition: West setback of 150' is based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe. 📄 Stipulations section, NDIC Field Order Info Reveals a specific, non-standard well design constraint tied to regulatory approval. The 'wet shoe' and requirement to 'frac out the shoe' indicates a planned completion technique that influences cementing and perforation strategy, deviating from a standard cemented liner.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Affidavit confirms executed surface use agreement with landowners (Meyer D. & Diane J. Kinnoin) authorizing off-spacing unit facilities placement for all 6 wells on pad. 📄 AFFIDAVIT IN RE OFF LEASE MEASUREMENT Shows advanced surface rights resolution for the entire pad. This is a prerequisite for permit approval and indicates the operator has secured necessary agreements, de-risking the project timeline.	2026-06-04	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Pad is part of a 6-well development ('CLEARWATER 31 NENE 2') with significant earthwork: 57,500 CY cut, 30,665 CY fill, total disturbance 16.50 acres. 📄 Pad construction data and plats throughout document Reveals scale and persistence of opportunity. This is not a single well but a major pad development. Earthwork volumes and detailed engineering (KLJ) indicate a large, planned multi-well project with extended activity.	2026-04-27	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Dylan Roach (701-770-1981) prior to commencing operations.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Stipulations section, Conditions of Approval Identifies a specific, named regulatory point of contact and a pre-spud notification requirement. This is a direct, personal line for field operations, not a generic office number.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Explicit request to NDIC: 'EOG Resources, Inc. respectfully requests permission to frac out the toe.' 📄 Drilling Plan, Production Liner & Cementing Notes Directly states operator's completion intent for a specific technique (toe frac). This is a formal request embedded in the drilling plan, not a post-drill decision.	Unknown	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with optimized facility placement and pre-resolved surface access.

Document references six wells on 'CLEARWATER 31 NENE 2' pad; detailed pad construction plans with cut/fill volumes; affidavit confirming executed surface use agreement for off-spacing facilities; integrated production facility layout on the same pad.
Utilize a cemented production liner with a 'wet shoe' design to facilitate a toe-initiation fracture treatment.

Regulatory stipulation ties 150' west setback to 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.' Drilling plan notes include: 'Use Standard burst plug to initiate fracture process' and explicit request: 'EOG Resources, Inc. respectfully requests permission to frac out the toe.'
Maintain strict regulatory compliance and pre-emptive communication, particularly regarding nearby dwellings and environmental controls.

Includes copies of mailed notices to dwelling owners (McNamara, Webster) as required; affidavit regarding no diesel in frac fluids; detailed stipulations on filter sock containers, closed mud systems, and berms; specific directive to contact Field Inspector Dylan Roach prior to operations.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Earthmoving & Pad Construction

Pad plans dated April 2026 with massive volumes (57,500 CY cut). Permit approved June 2026. This signals imminent or very near-term mobilization for pad construction to support a 6-well program.

Specialized Cementing & Liner Hanger Services

The well design mandates a cemented production liner with a 'wet shoe.' This non-standard requirement creates immediate need for engineering, equipment, and execution for the liner job, which is critical path for the approved completion technique.

Completion & Fracturing Services (Toe Initiation)

Operator has formally requested 'permission to frac out the toe.' This pre-defines a key aspect of the completion design. Service providers with expertise in toe-initiation techniques (burst plugs, etc.) have a defined opportunity aligned with operator intent.

Environmental & Waste Management

Stipulations require a 'covered leak-proof container (with placard) for filter sock disposal' on-site from spud through flowback. This is a persistent, time-bound requirement for the entire drilling and completion phase.
