📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Use of a cemented production liner with a wet shoe designed to be fracked out 📄 Permit stipulations and completion equipment notes The north setback is based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe. This is a specific completion design choice for wellbore isolation and subsequent stimulation access.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Off-spacing well requiring surface use agreement affidavit for drilling into adjacent units 📄 Affidavit section Well is designed to enter the Bakken formation outside its target spacing unit, traversing sections operated by another company (Kraken Operating, LLC). This requires a formal surface use agreement and notification, indicating complex land and unit coordination.	2026-06-17	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Pre-selected stimulation treatment supplier Halliburton Energy Services via affidavit 📄 Hydraulic Fracturing Stimulation affidavit A 2022 affidavit from Hess Senior Manager confirms Halliburton Energy Services as the stimulation treatment supplier that does not use specified diesel fuels. This indicates a pre-existing, company-wide vendor relationship for completions.	2022-04-21	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Mandatory pre-construction contact with NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Permit stipulations Specific inspector named (Robert Stafford) and contact number provided. Operator must contact him prior to location construction, indicating heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific conditions.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Anti-collision protocols requiring real-time surveys and geo-steering around existing wellbores 📄 Proposed work section Operator outlines detailed anti-collision standards including 1.5 separation factor, real-time corrected surveys, and use of gamma ray to geo-steer around existing wells. Indicates a densely drilled area with high risk of wellbore interference.	Unknown	Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

To drill extended-reach laterals from a centralized pad targeting multiple spacing units, including off-spacing sections.

The affidavit states the well will be drilled into 'off lease' units including Sections 14, 15, 18, 22, 23, 26, 27, 34 and 35 of T158N, R98W, and the directional plan shows a long lateral (approx. 20,776 ft MD) with a bottom hole in a different section.
To implement advanced wellbore collision avoidance due to dense existing development.

The proposed work section details multiple anti-collision precautions including real-time corrected surveys, a 1.5 separation factor standard, and active geo-steering with gamma ray, indicating intent to safely navigate a crowded field.
To use a cemented liner completion with a 'wet shoe' to facilitate hydraulic fracturing operations directly out of the shoe.

The permit stipulation and completion equipment notes describe a 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Land & Surface Negotiation

The off-spacing affidavit and surface use agreement were executed in March and June 2026, immediately prior to the permit approval. This indicates recent, time-sensitive activity to clear legal hurdles for drilling.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

The detailed anti-collision plan and long lateral targeting off-spacing units create an immediate need for high-precision directional drilling, real-time survey, and geo-steering services as drilling is imminent.

Regulatory & Inspection Coordination

The mandatory pre-construction contact with a specific NDIC field inspector (Robert Stafford) is a gate that must be passed before pad construction begins, requiring coordination.

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Detailed engineered pad design plans exist (dated 2026), and the permit requires contact with the inspector prior to location construction. This signals that pad construction is the next immediate physical activity.
