📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Well requires a 100' north setback due to production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and no ability to frac out the shoe 📄 Stipulations section, page 1 Unusual setback requirement tied to specific completion design (cemented liner with wet shoe) that limits stimulation options; indicates a deliberate engineering constraint that affects well placement and potential fracture geometry.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator submitted affidavit notifying adjacent spacing unit operator (Morningstar Operating LLC) per NDIC Order 31848 for wellbore entering Bakken system outside target unit 📄 Affidavit section at end of document Regulatory requirement triggered by wellbore traversing adjacent spacing unit; demonstrates active coordination with competitor operator and compliance with specific order.	2026-06-10	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Waiver requested for Acoustic/Sonic, Cased Hole, Casing Evaluation, and Cement Evaluation logs 📄 Proposed Logs section, page 3 Operator opting out of standard evaluation logs, which may indicate cost-saving or confidence in formation/casing integrity; requires separate sundry notice approval.	Unknown	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Must drill in conjunction with another well meeting 1220' setback from east/west boundaries to justify spacing unit 📄 Stipulations section, page 2 Conditional approval requiring coordinated drilling of multiple wells to validate the spacing unit; creates interdependency between wells on pad.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Explicit prohibition of diesel-based compounds in hydraulic stimulation (listed CAS numbers) 📄 Proposed Work section, page 6 Operator proactively committing to diesel-free frac fluids, aligning with NDIC memo and potentially using alternative chemistries.	Unknown	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Develop a 3-well pad with coordinated drilling to satisfy spacing unit requirements

Proposed work states 'Drill and complete 3 Bakken pool horizontal wells on this pad' and stipulation requires drilling in conjunction with another well to justify spacing unit.
Implement a cemented liner completion design that limits stimulation options but may enhance isolation

Stipulation notes 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and no ability to frac out the shoe' and schematic shows 'cemented lateral' design.
Minimize logging costs while maintaining regulatory compliance

Waiver requested for multiple standard evaluation logs (Acoustic/Sonic, Cased Hole, etc.), indicating selective data acquisition strategy.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Detailed directional plan exists with Taktikal Directional; precise wellbore placement required due to setbacks and spacing unit coordination; surveys must be submitted to certsurvey@nd.gov within specified frequencies.

Cementing Services

Complex cementing program with multiple lead/tail slurries for surface, intermediate, and production liner; specific slurry designs and volumes specified; cemented lateral with wet shoe creates unique operational requirements.

Stimulation & Fluids

60-stage cemented lateral planned with 6 million lbs sand; diesel-based compounds prohibited; fluid chemistry must meet specified mud properties and non-diesel requirements.

Environmental & Waste Management

Closed mud system required; cuttings hauled to approved facility; leak-proof filter sock container mandatory on-site; specific berm and ditch construction details provided for containment.

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Detailed construction plans with 7+ acre disturbance, 250,000 SF pad, specific cut/fill volumes (8,991 CY cut, 13,839 CY fill); must contact NDIC Field Inspector Nicole Ewoniuk prior to construction.
