📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 3	Liner will be cemented with a wet shoe with ability to frac out the shoe. 'Wet shoe will be utilized for pumping 1st stage perforating guns through the lateral.' 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program attachment, 'Completion Notes' section This is a specific engineering design decision affecting completion operations, differing from a standard cemented or uncemented liner approach.	2026-07-29	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Operator has pre-selected a specific off-site disposal facility for drill cuttings from the closed-loop system. 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program attachment, 'Closed Loop Drilling System' section The operator explicitly names the disposal vendor and address, moving beyond a generic plan to a specific commercial arrangement.	2026-07-29	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Operator plans to run a caliper log on the 7" intermediate casing from wellhead to ~100' above the Bakken formation prior to frac operations. 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program attachment, 'Completion Notes' section This is a specific, non-standard logging procedure tied directly to the completion schedule, indicating a deliberate operational step.	2026-07-29	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Anticollision report flags a close approach (1.59 Separation Factor) at TD with the planned well JACKSON-08-32-PGN S610HX, triggering 'Collision Risk Procedures Required'. 📄 Anticollision Report, 'Summary Highlights' This is a specific, quantified drilling hazard requiring active management, impacting drilling execution and survey frequency for this well.	2026-07-22	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Operator's affiliate, FP Pronghorn LLC, has a 3-year Road Use Agreement with Keller Township dated 3/18/2026 for use of 98th Ave NW and 100th St NW, with FP responsible for maintenance. 📄 Approach Permit attachment, 'Road Use Agreement' This is a executed, long-term commercial agreement for infrastructure access, not a routine permit condition.	2026-03-18	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator declares intent to file for a waiver from the on-site filter sock container requirement immediately upon permit approval.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program attachment, 'Leakproof Container Requirement' section This is a declared, non-routine regulatory action contingent on a near-term event (permit approval), not a standard practice.

💡 Operator Intent

To drill a multi-well pad with complex anticollision planning and off-spacing surface location.

The file includes a multi-well pad layout, an anticollision report for PIPER-08-31-BND S517HF and other wells on the pad, and an off-spacing affidavit for drilling from Section 8 into the target unit in Sections 18,19,30,31.
To seek regulatory waivers for routine requirements (filter sock container, open-hole logs) based on specific operational plans.

Operator states: 'Upon approval of the well permit, a sundry for waiver of the filter sock containment requirement will be submitted...' and 'A sundry notice requesting a waiver will be filed through the NorthSTAR reporting system.' for open-hole logs.
To utilize advanced, automated production and spill prevention systems.

Operator's Best Management Practices letter details: 'Well production will be monitored by a SCADA system with the ability to automatically and remotely shut-in well production...', 'Thermal cameras are placed near the wellheads...', and 'Fiber optic leak detection will also be implemented on transfer lines...'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Drilling Waste Hauling & Disposal

Operator has explicitly named Prairie Disposal, Inc. as the approved disposal location for drill cuttings from the closed-loop system. Service is required as soon as drilling commences.

Advanced Wellbore Logging

Operator plans to run a specific caliper log on the intermediate casing prior to frac operations, creating a defined service window during the completion phase.

Directional Drilling / Survey Management

Anticollision analysis shows a close approach risk with another planned well on the pad, requiring high-precision well placement and real-time survey monitoring, especially while drilling the lateral to TD.

Regulatory & Permitting Support

Operator has declared intent to file specific waiver requests (filter sock container, open-hole logs) immediately upon permit approval, indicating imminent regulatory paperwork.

Road Construction & Maintenance

Operator's affiliate holds a multi-year road use agreement with maintenance responsibilities, indicating ongoing or planned road work to support pad access and multi-well operations.
