As of 2026-10-08, KODA Resources Operating, LLC is a mid-sized ND Bakken operator with 233 total wells, 78 active, and 63 currently producing — all with zero plugged wells on record. Its recent regulatory activity is concentrated in Divide County, where it has secured a cluster of Salt Water Disposal authorizations and a pooling order since late August 2026, signaling active water-management buildout around its Fertile Valley and Daneville fields. One pending case — a permit revocation in Divide County — goes to hearing on 2026-10-22. A separate, high-relevance spacing application in Williams County (Case 32946, covering the Grenora-, Hanks-, and Bar Butte-Bakken Pools across 5,120 acres with 6 requested wells) carries a 99.4% progression probability but has been continued 3 times and remains unresolved. A Commission-initiated spacing review in Divide County (Case 33112, Fertile Valley-Bakken Pool) is also continued pending, with KODA as the affected party rather than the applicant.
KODA has 1 pending case as of the as-of date: Case 33205, a permit revocation in Divide County, scheduled for hearing on 2026-10-22 with a progression probability of 15.6%. That low probability reflects the nature of revocation proceedings — not a development application — and the outcome is genuinely uncertain. Two development-location cases are continued pending. Case 32946 (Williams County) is KODA's own application for a spacing unit across the Grenora-Bakken, Hanks-Bakken, and Bar Butte-Bakken Pools in T.159N., R.102W. and R.103W., proposing 6 requested wells across 5,120 acres. It carries a 99.4% progression probability and a 93% historical win rate, but has been continued 3 times since its first hearing on 2026-06-25. Case 33112 (Divide County) is a Commission-initiated review of the Fertile Valley-Bakken Pool spacing unit covering 18 sections in T.160N., R.103W.; KODA is the affected party. It has been continued once, with 1 permitted well and 7 prior wells in the area. No wells are requested (mom-wells_auth = 0) across KODA's upcoming docket.
KODA operates 233 total wells, of which 78 are active and 63 are producing now. Zero wells are plugged. Its work-type registrations include plugging & abandonment, salvage, and site reclamation — categories that do not yet appear to have been applied to its own wellbore inventory. Active operations are concentrated in Divide County, with Williams County activity reflected in the pending spacing case.
Eight orders have been signed since 2026-08-21, all in Divide County. Four are SWD Authorizations tied to the Fertile Valley field or Fertile Valley-Bakken Pool (Orders 36158, 36157, 35835, 35905); two cover the Daneville field (Orders 36156, 36029); one is a Pooling Order for the Fertile Valley-Bakken Pool signed 2026-08-26 (Order 35904); and one is a Revocation Hearing order signed 2026-09-25 for the Daneville-Bakken Pool (Order 35155). The SWD cluster is the dominant recent regulatory story — multiple authorizations across two fields in a compressed window.
The Divide County activity threads together tightly: the Commission-initiated spacing review (Case 33112), the recent pooling order (Order 35904), the SWD buildout (Orders 36156, 36157, 35835, 35905, 36158), and the upcoming permit revocation hearing (Case 33205) all point to Fertile Valley and Daneville as the operational focal point right now. The Williams County spacing case (Case 32946) is the one significant open item outside that cluster — high-confidence to progress, but repeatedly deferred.
