📊 Signals (7)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval conditional on 150' north/south and 1220' east/west setbacks within 2560-acre spacing unit, with north setback based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe 📄 STIPULATIONS section, NDIC Field Order Info Specific setback requirements tied to completion design (wet shoe) and ability to frac out shoe, indicating regulatory approval hinges on operational capability	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 2	Operator will utilize a wet shoe with ability to frac out the toe 📄 Completion & Perforation section, notes Specific completion design choice (wet shoe) explicitly linked to frac-out capability, indicating engineered toe stimulation approach	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Affidavit submitted notifying KODA RESOURCES OPERATING, LLC of directional plans for wells entering Bakken system outside target spacing unit, per NDIC Order 31848 📄 STATE OF COLORADO affidavit section Formal regulatory compliance action (affidavit) executed in Colorado, notifying specific offset operator (KODA) of cross-unit drilling	2026-07-20	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	First perf point at approx 100' from hard line and 250' from section line 📄 Completion & Perforation section, notes Perforation placement specifically referenced to property lines, indicating geometric precision to maximize lateral length within unit	Unknown	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Marc Binns (701-770-2564) prior to location construction⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Construction Commencement Notification Direct, named inspector contact required before pad construction, indicating heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific conditions	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator acknowledges requirement to give 21-31 day prior written notice to operators of wells in same/adjacent pool within 2640' for hydraulic fracture stimulation 📄 OPERATOR ASSERTIONS section Explicit acknowledgment of extended neighbor notification window for frac operations, indicating planned multi-well pad coordination	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	The lease lines shown on this plan differ from the certified plat. Alternate line data was used to meet permitting and regulatory compliance requirements 📄 Directional plan notes Explicit admission of data discrepancy between survey plat and directional plan, with alternate data used for compliance	Unknown	Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

Maximize lateral length within spacing unit while managing boundary setbacks

Specific setback conditions (150'/1220'), first perf point placement relative to lines, and note about alternate line data for compliance
Execute multi-well pad development with coordinated frac scheduling and neighbor notifications

Acknowledgement of 21-31 day frac notice requirements, pad layout showing multiple well slots, and affidavit notifying offset operator
Utilize engineered completion design with toe stimulation capability

Explicit statement to use wet shoe with ability to frac out the toe, and north setback condition tied to this design

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Plan shows complex multi-well pad with precise geometric constraints; alternate line data indicates reconciliation needs; survey frequency requirements specified

Completion & Stimulation

Wet shoe design with frac-out capability required; first perf placement precision needed; extended neighbor notification window affects frac scheduling

Regulatory & Inspection Coordination

Mandatory pre-construction contact with named inspector (Marc Binns); affidavit already executed for cross-unit drilling; explicit compliance conditions

Waste Management

Closed mud system with pre-selected disposal facility (Smoky Butte); filter sock container requirements; cuttings hauling logistics needed
