📊 Signals (7)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Use of a 'wet shoe with ability to frac out the toe' specified in completion design 📄 Proposed Drilling Plan schematic notes Specific completion hardware and technique called out, indicating a tailored approach for this lateral's geometry and regulatory setback.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	U-turn horizontal well design requiring pre-approval of fracture stimulation procedures due to wellbore proximity (<500 ft) to parallel spacing unit boundary 📄 Page 2 of 11, Stipulations section Indicates a complex well path (U-turn) with regulatory hurdles for completion; requires specific fracture procedure approval before operations, creating a gating item for service companies.	2026-07-22	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	BLM notification required for federal minerals, indicating spacing unit may contain federal leases⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Email from Jeremy Giesen (NDIC) dated 2026-07-16 Additional regulatory layer (BLM) must be cleared before drilling, adding potential delay.	2026-07-16	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Rig specified: Nabors B06 📄 Total Directional Plan Report, Project Details Drilling rig is pre-selected, indicating contract in place.	2026-06-25	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Waiver requested for Acoustic/Sonic and Density/Porosity logs 📄 Page 4 of 11, PROPOSED LOGS section Operator is opting out of standard data acquisition, which may indicate reliance on offset data or different formation evaluation strategy.	Unknown	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Explicit drilling waste disposal contractor named: Select Water Solutions, LLC Special Waste Landfill 📄 Proposed Drilling Plan, Section 4 Vendor pre-selected for waste disposal, indicating an established contract or preferred provider.	Unknown	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Mandatory pre-construction contact with NDIC Field Inspector Steven Ray (701-989-9183) and perimeter berm requirement 📄 Page 1 of 11, Conditions of Approval Direct regulatory point-of-contact specified; perimeter berm is a specific site construction requirement beyond standard.	Unknown	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a pad development with precise well spacing and boundary management

Multiple well paths (1H, 2H, 3H) detailed on same pad plat; stipulations focus on setbacks from south, east, west boundaries; U-turn design to maximize lateral length within unit.
Minimize data acquisition costs on known geology

Waiver requested for Acoustic/Sonic and Density/Porosity logs, suggesting confidence in offset data or formation model.
Proactively manage regulatory and neighbor relations for off-spacing operations

Affidavit of notification to XTO Energy Inc. for wells entering adjacent spacing unit; BLM notification initiated for federal minerals.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

U-turn well design with precise boundary setbacks requires high-accuracy steering and survey submission for regulatory compliance (as-built survey required).

Fracture Stimulation Design & Execution

Pre-approval of fracture procedures is mandated due to wellbore proximity to boundary; wet shoe/frac-out design requires specialized pumping and tool coordination.

Site Construction & Earthwork

Perimeter berm requirement, closed mud system, and detailed pad construction plans in sheets C-1 to C-8 indicate imminent grading and pad build.

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed-loop system with cuttings going to Select Water Solutions; filter sock container requirement from spud through flowback creates ongoing waste handling need.
