📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	North setback exception granted based on 'production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe' - specific engineering solution for boundary compliance 📄 Stipulations - NDIC Field Order Info Non-standard setback approval reveals customized completion design (wet shoe assembly) enabling closer approach to north boundary	2026-07-29	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Core and sample submission deadlines: cuttings within 30 days of drilling completion, cores within 180 days - with Form 4 required for extensions⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Cores and Samples letter Specific regulatory deadlines create post-drilling compliance timeline; operator must plan sample handling and shipping	2026-08-03	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Permit condition requires contacting NDIC Field Inspector Marc Binns (701-770-2564) PRIOR to location construction - not just pre-spud⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit Information - Conditions of Approval Unusual pre-construction notification requirement suggests heightened regulatory oversight or sensitive location	2026-07-29	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Drill-back waiver affidavit filed because wellbore enters Bakken Pool outside target spacing unit (Sec 5 T160N R100W) - operator self-waived notice requirement as they control offset unit 📄 Affidavit of Emily DiCarlo section Reveals complex pad development strategy with wellbores crossing unit boundaries; operator leveraging own leasehold to streamline regulatory process	2026-07-23	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Surface damage agreement executed with Robert & Shanna Rude - affidavit filed May 20, 2026 confirming all surface owners signed 📄 Affidavit of Ryan Harkins Surface access fully secured well before permit approval, indicating advanced land work and reduced surface risk	2026-05-20	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Anti-collision report shows close approaches (1.5-3.9 separation factor) with 8 offset wells on same pad - including 4 planned wells and 4 existing wells 📄 Anti-collision Report section High-density pad development requires precise directional control; multiple wells with separation factors near minimum safety thresholds	2026-04-23	Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

Execute high-density pad development with precise well placement to maximize unit drainage

Anti-collision report shows 8 offset wells on same pad; drill-back waiver for crossing unit boundaries; wet shoe design to optimize north setback
Minimize surface footprint through shared pad infrastructure

Pad layout shows 5 wells on single pad (Alexandria 34-27H-2, 34-27H-3, 35-23H-1, Smoky Butte 6-18H-3, 5-17H-1) with common facilities
Implement advanced completion techniques for boundary wells

North setback exception based on 'production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe' indicates engineered solution for edge wells

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & MWD

Anti-collision monitoring critical due to 1.5-3.9 separation factors with 8 offset wells; Scientific Drilling already engaged in planning

Cementing & Completion Engineering

Wet shoe assembly required for north setback exception; specific cementing design needed for production liner in lateral

Earthwork & Pad Construction

Must contact NDIC Field Inspector Marc Binns BEFORE construction; 18,020 CY excavation with specific grading requirements

Sample Management & Logistics

Regulatory deadlines: cuttings within 30 days, cores within 180 days of drilling completion
