Petro-Hunt, L.L.C. — ND Dossier | As of 2026-10-08

Docket & Locations

Petro-Hunt has 15 pending cases, all scheduled for the October 21, 2026 hearing. The active docket spans three counties — McKenzie, Divide, and Billings — with McKenzie dominating the upcoming slate. Eight cases appear in the hearings data for October 21: six spacing unit applications in McKenzie County covering MonDak-Bakken (cases 33152, 33154, 33155, 33156, 33153) and Pierre Creek-Bakken / Pierre Creek-Cinnamon Creek-Bakken pools (cases 33157, 33158, 33160), one spacing unit in McKenzie covering Pierre Creek and Flat Top Butte-Bakken (case 33159), and one pooling case in Billings County covering the Little Knife-Bakken pool (case 33246). All eight are listed as 'continued pending' — each was first heard on September 23, 2026, and has been continued once. A Divide County spacing unit (case 32848) and a second Billings pooling case (case 33247) also appear in pending cases for the same date. The momentum ramp score is 76.6.

Portfolio

Petro-Hunt operates 1,246 total wells in North Dakota. Of those, 752 are active and 738 are producing now — a near-identical pair that signals minimal drilled-but-uncompleted inventory and a fully developed asset base. The portfolio also carries 250 plugged wells, a meaningful abandonment footprint relative to the active fleet. Work types associated with the operator span drilling rigs, frac crews, frac sand, new-pad dirt and construction, and water logistics and trucking — a full-cycle operational profile consistent with active pad development.

Requested Wells & Acreage Across Pending Cases

Across the upcoming docket, Petro-Hunt is requesting 62 wells in total (mom-wells_auth). The individual spacing unit cases for which well and acreage detail is available request between 2 and 8 wells per case, with acreage ranging from 1,280 to 2,560 acres per unit. One case (33157) is flagged as greenfield — no prior wells in that section block. The remaining cases with detail all show prior well activity in their footprints, consistent with the operator's established presence in MonDak-Bakken and Pierre Creek-Bakken pools. All cases with progression probabilities in the bundle score at 99.8% or 99.9%. These are requested wells and proposed acreage; no signed orders exist yet for any of these cases.
