📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval conditional on a 150 ft south setback based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe 📄 STIPULATIONS - NDIC Field Order Info Specifies a unique well construction and completion method (cemented liner with wet shoe) as the basis for a reduced regulatory setback. This is a design-driven exception to standard spacing rules.	2026-08-10	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Cores and samples must be submitted to state library within 30 days (samples) and 180 days (cores) of drilling completion, with extensions requiring Form 4 Sundry Notice approval⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Letter dated 8/17/2026 Imposes strict, short-term deadlines for sample submission post-drilling, with a formal process for extensions. This is a binding post-operational requirement with penalty risks.	2026-08-17	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Wellbore enters Bakken Pool outside target spacing unit, requiring formal notification and plan sharing with offset operator LimeRock per NDIC Order 31973 📄 Affidavit of Chelsea Cherry, Anticollision Report Reveals a non-standard wellbore trajectory crossing into an adjacent unit, triggering specific regulatory obligations and inter-operator coordination not typical for a standard development well.	2026-08-10	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Operator must maintain a leak-proof, covered, placarded container for filter sock disposal on-site from spud through flowback, with waiver requiring a Sundry Notice 📄 Operator assertions, July 29, 2026 letter Highlights an explicit, ongoing waste management requirement with a defined container specification and a formal waiver process. Emphasizes regulatory focus on filter media disposal.	2026-07-29	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Mandatory pre-construction contact with NDIC Field Inspector Jason Hicks (701-720-3523) prior to location construction⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 STIPULATIONS - Construction Commencement Notification Names a specific field inspector for mandatory pre-construction contact, creating a direct regulatory touchpoint. This is more specific than generic notification requirements.	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with precise anti-collision management, targeting the Middle Bakken across a large (2560-acre) spacing unit.

Anticollision report references offsets Kandiyohi 159-90-4-21H-1 and H-3 on the same pad. Affidavit references three wells (H-1, H-2, H-3). Spacing unit consists of four full sections (4,9,16,21).
Utilize a cemented production liner with a wet shoe completion technique to enable closer proximity to unit boundaries and facilitate the frac operation.

Stipulation explicitly ties the 150 ft south setback approval to 'a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.'
Proactively manage surface owner relations and regulatory compliance for a pad located on split-ownership surface.

Affidavit of Ryan Harkins confirms executed Surface Damage Settlement and Access Agreement with all surface owners (Twila F. Wolfe Trust, Michele Fleckten Hallock Trust) via agent Farmers National Company.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & MWD Services

Scientific Drilling is already engaged in planning. The anti-collision report shows tight spacing with other planned wells on the pad (H-1, H-3), requiring high-precision execution. The wellbore also traverses into an adjacent unit, increasing complexity.

Liner Hanger & Cementing Services

The approved well design and setback are contingent on a 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe.' This specifies the need for a liner hanger system, specialized cementing for the lateral, and a wet shoe assembly, creating a near-term opportunity post-intermediate casing.

Environmental & Waste Management

Explicit, ongoing requirement for a specific filter sock container from spud through flowback. Closed mud system and cuttings hauling to approved facility are stipulated. This creates a continuous need for waste handling, transportation, and disposal services.

Civil Construction & Pad Building

Pad design by KLJ is complete. Construction cannot commence until direct contact is made with NDIC Inspector Jason Hicks. This creates an immediate pre-construction gate. Detailed cut/fill volumes and pad specifications are provided, enabling precise bidding.

Geological Sample Management

Strict 30-day deadline post-drilling for sample submission to the state library. Requires washing, drying, packaging, and shipping services immediately after rig departure, creating a short-fuse, deadline-driven contract opportunity.
