📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 3	South setback reduced to 150' (vs standard 500') based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe 📄 Stipulations section, page 2 Non-standard setback approval reveals engineered completion design (cemented liner with wet shoe) allowing closer proximity to boundary.	2026-08-07	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Closed mud system with no cuttings pit; cuttings to be hauled to offsite commercial facility (13 Mile Landfill, Williston, ND) 📄 Stipulations page 2 & Drilling Fluids Program Regulatory stipulation combined with explicit offsite disposal plan to specific landfill.	2026-08-07	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	3-day waiting period waiver granted for pad construction based on affidavit of working interest (85.46%)⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit Information section, page 2 Operator secured expedited approval to begin pad construction immediately after permit publication, bypassing standard 3-business-day waiting period. Indicates urgency to mobilize.	2026-08-07	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Operator plans to submit sundry to waive open hole logs 📄 Drilling Plan, Evaluation Program section Explicit intent to forego standard open hole logging, relying on MWD and cased hole evaluation only.	Unknown	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Mandatory contact with specific NDIC Field Inspector (Marc Binns) prior to location construction 📄 Stipulations section, page 2 Unusual stipulation requiring direct contact with a named inspector before construction begins, not just generic notification.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Fracture stimulation planned to be pumped down 7" intermediate casing; frac string only if mechanical issues 📄 Drilling Plan, Completion Program section Design choice to use intermediate casing as frac string, deviating from more common dedicated frac string or liner completion.	Unknown	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Develop a multi-well pad (Bock 14 Pad) with at least 5 future well slots, indicating batch drilling and completion campaign.

Pad layout shows 'FUTURE WELL 1' through 'FUTURE WELL 5' slots. Affidavit references 'Bock 14 Pad' and multiple well filings (1435-4BH, 5BH, 6BH).
Maximize capital efficiency by waiving standard logging and using intermediate casing as frac string.

Drilling plan states intent to 'submit a sundry to waive open hole logs' and design to pump fracs down 7" casing unless mechanical issues arise.
Aggressively develop spacing unit boundaries using reduced setback approval.

South setback reduced to 150' based on engineered cemented liner design, allowing wellbore to be placed closer to unit boundary.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Location Construction & Earthwork

3-day waiting period waived. Construction can begin immediately upon permit publication. Pad requires ~57,400 cu yds of fill and significant cut/fill work.

Drilling Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed mud system mandated. Explicit plan to haul cuttings to '13 Mile Landfill, Williston, ND'. Requires contracted hauling and confirmed disposal capacity.

Cementing (Primary & Remedial)

Reduced setback approval hinges on successful cementing of production liner with wet shoe. Design includes complex cement blends (50/50 Poz, silica flour, bonding agents).

Directional Drilling / MWD

KLX Directional pre-selected. Anti-collision critical on multi-well pad. Complex trajectory with build, drop, and long lateral (~15,471 ft).
