Next hearing

Heberdev Operating, LLC is a nascent North Dakota operator with zero producing, active, or plugged wells in its current portfolio. Its entire footprint consists of a single pending well-authorization case (Case 33187) scheduled for hearing on 2026-09-23 in Burke County. Work-type signals — new-pad dirt & construction and rentals & workforce — confirm the company is in pure pre-drill mobilization mode, not yet past the regulatory starting line.

What stands out

Zero-well portfolio with an active regulatory case is the clearest possible signal of a true greenfield entrant: Heberdev has no operational history in North Dakota yet is already moving through the Industrial Commission docket.
Work types 'new-pad dirt & construction' and 'rentals & workforce' are ground-level mobilization activities — they indicate capital is being committed on the ground even before the well authorization is granted, suggesting high operator conviction in a favorable outcome.
Burke County is the sole geographic focus, concentrating all regulatory and operational risk — and opportunity — in a single county with no diversification across the broader Williston Basin at this stage.

Portfolio

Current well inventory stands at zero across all categories — total, active, plugged, and producing. This is not a dormant operator winding down; the work-type profile and pending docket case confirm this is a company at the very beginning of its North Dakota operating life.
