Eagle Operating, Inc. is a small, mature North Dakota operator with a portfolio of 167 total wells, of which 84 are plugged and only 14 are currently producing — a profile that signals a legacy asset base rather than an active drilling program. The company's single near-term regulatory move is an enhanced recovery case (No. 32728) covering the Foreman Butte-Madison Pool in McKenzie County, with a hearing set for 2026-08-27. That case has already progressed through the pipeline (first heard 2026-03-26), and the operator's work-type footprint — gathering, tank batteries & facilities, water handling & injection, and workover rigs — is entirely consistent with a waterflood or pressure-maintenance strategy on an established pool rather than greenfield development.

What stands out

Docket & Locations

Eagle has one pending case before the North Dakota Industrial Commission: Case No. 32728, an enhanced recovery application for the Foreman Butte-Madison Pool in McKenzie County. The affected acreage sits in Sections 17 and 20, T.150N., R.102W. The case first appeared at hearing on 2026-03-26 and has since progressed to order stage, though no signed order date has been recorded. A follow-on hearing is calendared for 2026-08-27. The location is not greenfield — the operator already holds 1 prior well in the area. No wells have been spudded or permitted under this case.

Portfolio

Eagle's total well count stands at 167, with 18 active, 84 plugged, and 14 producing at present. The high plugged-to-total ratio reflects a long operational history and ongoing abandonment activity rather than expansion. The operator's declared work types — gathering, tank batteries & facilities, water handling & injection, and workover rigs — confirm an infrastructure-and-maintenance orientation consistent with managing a mature, pressure-depleted pool.

Recent Orders & Cases

No recent signed orders appear in the record. The single active regulatory case is the enhanced recovery filing (Case No. 32728) described above. The momentum snapshot shows 1 pending case, 0 high-probability cases, and 0 wells authorized — reinforcing that Eagle is in a regulatory holding pattern pending resolution of the Madison Pool application.
