📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Permit approval conditional on 150' north, 50' south, and 1220' east/west setbacks within a 1920-acre spacing unit, with south setback based on a fully cemented production liner shoe that cannot be fraced out. 📄 STIPULATIONS section, first page Unusually restrictive and asymmetric setback requirements tied to specific wellbore construction (cemented liner shoe) that eliminates frac-out capability, indicating heightened regulatory or geological sensitivity.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	BLM notification required for federal minerals within spacing unit; operator directed to contact BLM Dickinson office at (701) 227-7713.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Email from Doug Jackson to Sergio Villa dated 8/17/2026 Permit approval triggers additional federal oversight requirement, indicating overlapping state/federal jurisdiction.	2026-08-17	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Drill cuttings disposal explicitly designated to Ideal Oilfield Disposal or IHD Solid Management disposal facility. 📄 Letter to Daniel Kuchar regarding Drill Cuttings Disposal Operator pre-selects two specific waste disposal vendors, indicating established contracts or regional preferences.	2026-07-29	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	H2S drilling operations plan prepared by Total Safety Inc., with safety equipment trailer and detailed H2S monitoring/procedures required 500' above or 3 days prior to penetrating first H2S zone. 📄 H2S DRILLING OPERATIONS PLAN sections Explicit, vendor-specific H2S safety plan with detailed equipment list and procedures indicates anticipated H2S presence and pre-selected safety contractor.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Will Ryan (701-770-6684) prior to location construction.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 STIPULATIONS section, first page Pre-construction contact requirement with a named inspector suggests site-specific oversight or environmental/land-use sensitivities.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Production liner will use a Halliburton RapidStart Initiator Sleeve and be fully cemented with no ability to frac out the shoe. 📄 Completion & Perforation section, schematic notes Specifies a Halliburton proprietary completion tool and a cemented liner design that eliminates shoe fracturing, indicating a specific completion strategy.	Unknown	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with precise directional control to target Three Forks formation across spacing units.

Well is part of a pad with wells TF1H, TF2H, TF3H, TF4H; directional plan shows kick-off at ~10,165' MD building to horizontal at 11,137' MD landing in Three Forks; target is in a different section (8) than surface location (32).
Prioritize wellbore integrity and regulatory compliance over operational flexibility, particularly regarding H2S safety and environmental containment.

Detailed H2S plan with Total Safety Inc.; closed mud system with no cuttings pit; leak-proof filter sock container required; perimeter berm and impermeable pad base required; explicit cuttings disposal vendors.
Use a cemented production liner completion strategy that eliminates the ability to frac out the shoe, likely to ensure zonal isolation and comply with setback stipulations.

South setback is based on 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a fully cemented shoe and no ability to frac out the shoe'; completion schematic notes liner will be fully cemented.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

H2S Safety & Monitoring

Total Safety Inc. is explicitly contracted; equipment must be installed 500' above or 3 days prior to penetrating H2S zone. Immediate mobilization opportunity for safety services and equipment rental.

Drill Cuttings & Waste Disposal

Operator has designated Ideal Oilfield Disposal and IHD Solid Management; closed mud system with no cuttings pit requires ongoing hauling and disposal. Opportunity for waste transport and disposal services is locked to these two vendors unless changes occur.

Directional Drilling & MWD

Complex directional plan with kick-off at 10,165' MD, building to horizontal, and a long lateral (~15,430'); plan references MWD+HRGM survey tool. High-precision directional services needed soon after spud.

Cementing & Centralization

Detailed cementing programs with excess percentages and specific centralizer schedules (e.g., one centralizer per joint in lateral). Cementing services and centralizer supply required for surface, intermediate, and production casing runs.

Completion Tools & Stimulation

Halliburton RapidStart Initiator Sleeve specified; well will be completed with ~45 stages, 6-7 clusters per stage. Completion and stimulation services likely to be awarded to Halliburton or involve their tools.
