💡 Operator Intent

To drill and complete an open-hole lateral in the Middle Bakken without hydraulic fracture stimulation.

The drilling prognosis states 'This well will not be stimulated' and the completion procedure describes open-hole flowback.

To develop the pad efficiently by redrilling a well, utilizing existing surface infrastructure and a pre-negotiated rig contract.

Document states 'This is a proposed redrill well on the existing pad' and 'Rockport Energy Solutions has signed a rig contract with H&P #515'.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling / MWD / Surveying

A complex directional plan with multiple nudges and a specific survey frequency is mandated; services are needed for imminent drilling starting ~9/10/2026.

Cementing & Liner Services

Permit approval is conditional on installing a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe, creating a specific, required service scope.

Flowback & Well Testing

With a non-stimulated, open-hole completion plan, effective flowback and well testing will be critical for initial production evaluation.

Environmental & Waste Management

Strict requirements for closed mud systems, filter sock containers, and dry cuttings disposal to an approved facility create ongoing service needs.
