💡 Operator Intent

To drill a multi-well pad development targeting the Bakken formation with a specific, non-routine completion technique.

The permit includes multiple well names (Potter #2BX, #3B, #4B, #5B, 6B, #7BX) from a single pad, and the engineering section details a 'wet shoe' configuration for toe initiation to avoid more expensive perforating methods.

To manage significant anti-collision risks in a densely drilled area.

The anti-collision statement details multiple precautions including real-time corrected surveys, a 1.2 separation safety factor, and using gamma ray signatures to identify existing wellbores, indicating a complex well path environment.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Environmental & Site Construction

The 'aquifer location' stipulation requires immediate contact with the NDIC inspector before construction, mandating a closed mud system, impermeable liner, and perimeter berm. This drives need for specialized construction oversight and materials.

Drilling Waste Hauling & Disposal

Operator has pre-identified a shortlist of eight licensed disposal facilities. Haulers and facilities on this list have a defined opportunity; others are excluded unless the closest facility is unavailable.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

The anti-collision statement reveals a complex environment requiring high-frequency surveys (every 93'-100'), real-time guidance, and gamma ray correlation. This indicates a premium on precise well placement services.

Completion Services (Wireline/Pumping)

The planned 'wet shoe' configuration is designed specifically for pump-down wireline perforating of the first stage, creating a defined service need for wireline and fluid pumping operators familiar with this technique.
