💡 Operator Intent

To develop multiple spacing units from a single surface pad to consolidate operations and reduce surface disturbance.

The affidavit states the pad will be used to drill wells into 'off-lease' units, and the permit is for a well entering the Bakken outside its target spacing unit.

To employ a cost-effective toe-initiation completion method using a 'wet shoe' liner configuration.

The permit condition and attached well diagram detail the wet shoe design to allow wireline perforation instead of more expensive tubing-conveyed or tractor methods.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Wireline Perforation

The approved 'wet shoe' completion design is specifically intended to enable pump-down wireline perforation for the first stage, creating a direct service opportunity post-drilling.

Surveying & Well Planning

Complex anti-collision planning is required for pad drilling with multiple wellbores, and a specific surveying contractor (4DIMENSION) is already engaged, indicating ongoing needs.

Regulatory & Inspection Coordination

A named NDIC field inspector must be contacted before construction begins, indicating a time-sensitive coordination step for any earthwork or pad-building contractors.
