Target Formation: BAKKEN
Permit Explained: Yes

Permit Cycle Assessment

The permit approval is explicitly conditioned on Commission Order 35252 and specific boundary setbacks tied to a 'wet shoe' liner configuration. The permit and supporting technical documents provide contemporaneous justification for these conditions.

Permit Cycle Signals (5)

Approval is granted on the condition that all portions of the well bore not isolated by cement, be no closer than the 150' setback from the north & south boundaries and 500' setback from the east & west boundaries within the 2560-acre spacing unit. The south setback is based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.

Direct

Permit Information - STIPULATIONS, NDIC Field Order Info
Relative (Inferred confidence)

Conditional approval tied directly to a specific wellbore geometry (wet shoe liner) and non-routine boundary setbacks, justifying the permit issuance.

Commission Order No. 35252 cited as basis for approval.

Direct

Permit Information - STIPULATIONS, NDIC Field Order Info; COMPLETION INTERVALS
Unknown (Missing confidence)

Specific regulatory order is the direct legal authority for the permit approval.

Based on the azimuth of the proposed lateral, the minimum legal coordinate from the well head at 7" casing point is: 908' south. Also, based on the azimuth of the proposed lateral the maximum legal coordinate from the well head at Total Depth is: 21930' south.

Relative (Inferred confidence)

Specifies precise, geometry-driven legal coordinates mandated for this specific lateral trajectory, conditioning the permit.

Oasis must contact NDIC Field Inspector Doug Dolyniuk prior to location construction.

Relative (Inferred confidence)

A pre-spud action required by the regulator as a condition of the permit.

Detailed technical submission justifying 'wet shoe' liner configuration for toe initiation and explaining south setback rationale.

Supporting

Attachment/Proposed Work - Section 1.11 Wet Shoe
Relative (Inferred confidence)

Provides the engineering justification for the south setback condition explicitly referenced in the permit stipulations.

Historical Context (3)

Operator acknowledges they will contact the NDIC Field Inspector to seek proper plug back procedures in the event of a sidetrack.
Page 7 of 10, OPERATOR ASSERTIONS · Relative
Imposes a forward-looking operational procedure for any future sidetrack, affecting well execution beyond the current permit.

Operator understands that any changes, shortening of casing point or lengthening at Total Depth or change in completion technique within the Bakken-Three Forks Petroleum System must have prior approval by the NDIC.
Page 9 of 10, OPERATOR ASSERTIONS · Relative
Creates a persistent regulatory obligation for any future modification to the approved well plan.

Surface Use Agreement executed for off-lease drilling from this pad location.
AFFIDAVIT AFFIRMING SURFACE USE AGREEMENT · 2026-08-25
Legally binding agreement with the surface owner governs all operations from this pad, affecting future well execution and surface relations.

Operator Pattern

Utilizes pad drilling for multiple off-lease horizontals; employs non-routine 'wet shoe' liner configuration for operational efficiency.
Multiple wells (2BX, 3B, 4B, 5B) drilled from the same pad into off-lease units; detailed engineering justification for wet shoe configuration provided in technical attachment.

Confidence: High
Permit stipulations directly reference a specific Commission Order (35252) and a non-routine well geometry (wet shoe liner), with the technical submission providing explicit, contemporaneous justification. Clear separation exists between permit conditions and historical/ongoing obligations.
