📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval conditioned on wellbore being no closer than 150' setback from north & south boundaries within the 5120-acre unit, with south setback based on a cemented production liner with a wet shoe. 📄 Permit Information / Conditions of Approval Specific geosteering and completion design constraint (wet shoe) mandated by the regulator to manage boundary setbacks.	Unknown	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Operator plans to request a waiver for open-hole logging requirements, citing a previously-logged offset well (NDIC# 8139) for geologic control. 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program Non-standard approach to regulatory logging mandates, relying on offset data instead of in-well logs.	Unknown	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Operator must contact NDIC Field Inspector Jason Hicks prior to location construction.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit Review Policy Explicitly names the field inspector and creates a mandatory pre-construction contact point.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Operator plans to request a waiver for the filter sock container requirement, stating filtration systems will not be used. 📄 Preliminary Drilling Program Indicates a deviation from standard regulatory waste handling practices and a planned administrative action (sundry filing).	Unknown	Regulatory / Permitting
Tier 3	Drilling stipulation requires one horizontal well be drilled and completed in two 2560-acre units before any well is completed in the combined 5120-acre unit. 📄 Permit Information / Stipulations Imposes a specific sequence of operations that dictates drilling and completion timing for multiple wells on the pad.	Unknown	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

To drill this well as part of a coordinated multi-well pad development from an off-spacing surface location.

Off-spacing affidavit and pad layout show multiple wells (S512HF, S516HF, S610HX, S614HF, S517HF) planned from the same pad in Section 8, targeting units in adjacent sections.
To minimize onsite waste and logging costs through planned regulatory waivers and a closed-loop drilling system.

Drilling program states intent to submit sundry notices for waivers for filter sock container and open-hole logs, and specifies use of a closed-loop system with cuttings hauled to Prairie Disposal.
To implement advanced spill prevention and automatic shutdown technology at the production facility.

Spill Prevention Plan details use of SCADA, automatic tank level switches, pipeline flow meters, fiber optic leak detection, and thermal cameras for remote shut-in and leak detection.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling / Survey Management

Anti-collision report shows close approaches with other planned wells on the pad (e.g., 4.45 ft at 104.45 MD), requiring high-precision drilling and real-time survey monitoring to avoid collisions.

Cementing & Completions Engineering

Permit condition mandates a cemented production liner with a wet shoe to achieve the south boundary setback, requiring specialized cementing and completion design for the 'frac out the shoe' technique.

Regulatory & Compliance Consulting

Operator has declared intent to file for multiple waivers (filter container, open-hole logs), which requires timely preparation, justification, and submission of sundry notices to the NDIC.

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed-loop system is planned with cuttings to be hauled to a specific disposal facility (Prairie Disposal), indicating an immediate need for waste transportation services upon spud.
