Permit Explained: Yes

📋 Permit Cycle Assessment

The permit approval for Hazy 3310-2BHN is directly explained by Commission Order No. 34630, which conditions approval on specific cement isolation (production liner with wet shoe and frac-out capability) and setback requirements (150' north/south, 1220' east/west within the 2560-acre DSU). The Alkabo-Bakken Pool definition establishes the regulatory stratigraphic window. Pre-permit anticollision modeling (submitted 24 November 2025) validates directional trajectory against four offset wells with compliant separation factors (minimum 1.791). Environmental stipulations (closed mud system, filter container) are conditioned per DMR regulatory letter dated 30 May 2025. Surface Use Agreement with surface owner (executed 26 November 2025) satisfies prerequisite for permit issuance. The permit approval on 09/01/2026 (dirt work date) reflects satisfaction of all conditional requirements tied to well geometry, cement design, environmental compliance, and surface rights.

Pool definition is structural constraint on drilling authorization and establishes stratigraphic window for this permit.

Anticollision modeling submitted demonstrating separation factors meet ISCWSA standards against four offset wells (Hazy 3309-1BHN, Hazy 3315-4BH, Hazy 3316-3BH, Hazy 33-1 SWD). Minimum separation factor 1.791 at shallow build section against Hazy 3315-4BH; deepest offset (Hazy 3309-1BHN) shows 2.886 separation factor at TD.

📖 Historical Context (3)

Four-well pad development (Hazy 3309-1BHN, Hazy 3310-2BHN, Hazy 3316-3BH, Hazy 3315-4BH) across four separate 2560-acre DSUs with KODA majority working interest (56.41%–96.12%). Operator is also non-operator wells or majority interest in all DSUs, eliminating Order No. 31973 notice requirement.
📄 Letter dated 5 December 2025 re: Order 31973 waiver request; Affidavit of Working Interest dated 17 November 2025 · 📅 Unknown
Multi-well pad geometry and KODA's vertical integration across four DSUs constrains future drilling offsets and requires continued anticollision monitoring. Wellbore enters adjacent DSU (Sections 3, 10, 15 T161N-R102W, Section 34 T162N-R102W), triggering Order 31973 compliance waiver assumption during entire drilling and completion phase.

Directional design specifies 20,759 ft lateral length with toe at MD 29,686.8 ft, inclination 90.68° (near-horizontal), targeting Middle Bakken at TVD 8,141 ft. Build section between KOP (8,228 MD) and lateral entry uses 12° dogleg severity with 10.61°/100ft build rate. Survey intervals (100 ft vertical, 30 ft build, 90 ft lateral) support geosteering.
📄 KLX Well Planning Report (24 November 2025); Drilling Plan Section 1 (Formation Tops); Directional Drilling section · 📅 Unknown
Long lateral geometry and tight survey spacing establish operational constraints for equivalent-lateral development on adjacent spacings. MWD utilization and geosteering capability define future infill drilling precision requirements and potential intra-pool interaction risk if later wells enter same stratigraphic interval.

Production casing design specifies 4.5" P-110 GBCD liner (8,178–29,687 MD) with 50/50 Class G/Poz (flyash) cement formula, 15% excess, 20% silica flour, 5 lb/sx bonding agent. Wet shoe design with frac-out capability mandates production liner perforation and stimulation via 7" intermediate casing tie-back. Fracture stimulation = plug-and-perf, slick water + sand, no diesel compounds.
📄 Drilling Plan Section 3 (Casing & Cement Programs); Section 7 (Hydraulic Fracturing) · 📅 Unknown
Cement design and production liner configuration establish template for completion methodology across pad. Wet shoe frac-out design creates operational dependency on successful perforation execution and tie-back string readiness. No diesel hydraulic fracturing constraint is enforceable limitation on fluid chemistry for all future completions on this pad.

🔧 Operator Pattern

KODA Resources Operating, LLC operates four-well pad as majority interest stakeholder across four DSUs, demonstrating vertical integration and coordinated development strategy in Bakken shale at Westby Field (Divide County, ND). Operator holds 56.41%–96.12% working interest in respective DSUs and submitted unified anticollision and directional engineering package for entire pad.
Affidavit of Working Interest (17 November 2025) documents KODA's majority position in all four wells. KLX anticollision analysis evaluates Hazy 3310-2BHN against three other KODA wells and one third-party well (Hazy 33-1 SWD), indicating pad-level development planning. Single Surface Use Agreement executed with Mae Ludwig Life Estate covers all four wells, reflecting consolidated land management. Unified drilling plan, directional design, and completion specifications across pad confirm operational coordination and standardized technical approach.

All permit-cycle signals are anchored to contemporaneous documents with exact or strongly inferred dates. Historical context is fully supported by affidavits of working interest and well proximity data. No critical dates are missing, and no invention of regulatory orders, vendors, or requirements occurred.
