API: 3305310870
Target Formation: Three Forks
Permit Explained: Yes

📋 Permit Cycle Assessment

The permit approval is explicitly conditioned on adherence to Commission Order 34452 spacing/setbacks, with a non-routine south setback modification justified by casing design. Required operator submissions on diesel fuel use and cuttings disposal provide supporting justification.

🔍 Permit Cycle Signals (4)

Permit approval is granted on condition that all portions of the well bore not isolated by cement adhere to specific boundary setbacks (150' north, 50' south, 1220' east/west) within the defined 1920-acre spacing unit.

Direct

📄 Permit Information - Stipulations section
📅 2026-08-17 (Exact confidence)

This is a direct condition of approval attached to Commission Order No. 34452, specifically tying the permit issuance to geometry and spacing compliance.

South setback is modified to 50' based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a fully cemented shoe and no ability to frac out the shoe.

📄 Permit Information - Conditions of Approval
📅 Relative (Inferred confidence)

This is a non-routine, well-specific waiver/modification of a standard setback rule, justified by a specific casing/cementing design. It directly conditions the permit's approval.

Waiver request and justification for drill cuttings disposal to approved facilities (Ideal Oilfield Disposal or IHD Solid Management).

Supporting

📄 Drill Cuttings Disposal Statement letter
📅 2026-07-29 (Exact confidence)

This is a supporting submission by the operator, required for permit approval, addressing a specific regulatory requirement for waste management.

Statement confirming hydraulic fracture stimulation operations will not use Diesel Fuel.

📄 Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation using Diesel Fuel letter
📅 2026-07-29 (Exact confidence)

This is a direct, required operator assertion tied to a specific regulatory memo (effective Feb 12, 2014), conditioning permit approval.

📖 Historical Context (3)

H2S Drilling Operations Plan outlines comprehensive safety equipment, monitoring, training, and emergency procedures for drilling in hydrogen sulfide-bearing formations.
📄 H2S Drilling Operations Plan document · 📅 Unknown
This plan imposes forward-going operational obligations for crew safety, equipment specifications, and emergency response during drilling operations in H2S zones.

Drilling program specifies directional plan with kick-off at ~10,165' MD building at 10°/100' and a long lateral (~15,430 ft) landing in the Three Forks formation.
📄 Proposed Work / Drilling Program sections · 📅 Unknown
The detailed directional plan and long lateral geometry dictate wellbore placement, surveying frequency, and anti-collision monitoring obligations during execution.

Casing and cementing program details specific centralizer placement, cement volumes/slurries, and pressure testing requirements for surface, intermediate, and production strings.
📄 Casing and Cementing Program sections · 📅 Unknown
These are binding engineering specifications that must be followed during well construction, affecting well integrity, regulatory compliance, and future zonal isolation.

Confidence: High
The permit document contains explicit, direct conditions of approval referencing Commission Order 34452 and a non-routine setback waiver. Supporting operator submissions (diesel fuel, cuttings disposal) are dated prior to permit approval and are clearly required. Historical operational plans (H2S, drilling program, casing design) are detailed and impose clear forward obligations.
