Petro-Hunt, L.L.C. is a substantial North Dakota Bakken operator with 1,224 total wells, 744 active, and 733 producing as of mid-2026. The company is in an active regulatory sprint concentrated entirely in Divide County, with 3 pending spacing-unit cases heard on 2026-06-25 and 9 wells already authorized in the current momentum window. Its win rate stands at 90% and its average progression probability across pending cases is 99.6% — effectively a formality. Four orders signed since April 2026 span Divide, Burke, and Williams counties, confirming a broad but Divide-weighted footprint across multiple Bakken pool designations.
All 3 active pending cases are spacing-unit applications in Divide County, each scheduled for the same hearing date of 2026-06-25. The three June hearings target the Colgan-Bakken Pool (case 32949), the Colgan- and Big Dipper-Bakken pools (case 32948), and the Big Dipper- and Gooseneck-Bakken pools (case 32950) — all within T.163N., R.101W. Beyond the June 25 cluster, the broader development location pipeline also includes a 2,560-acre West Ambrose-Bakken unit in Divide County (case 32847, heard 2026-05-27) and a 1,920-acre Little Knife-Bakken unit in Billings County (case 32849, heard 2026-05-27), plus the larger 3,840-acre Little Knife/Crooked Creek-Bakken case 32850 spanning Billings and Dunn counties. The outlier case 32848 (Ambrose-Bakken, Divide, 2,560 acres, 4 wells authorized) carries a 58.4% progression probability and has been continued — the only meaningful regulatory uncertainty in the portfolio.
Petro-Hunt operates 1,224 total wells in North Dakota, of which 744 are active and 733 are producing at this moment. 236 wells have been plugged. The active-to-total ratio reflects a mature but still heavily productive base. Work types on record span the full development cycle: drilling rigs, frac crews, frac sand, new-pad dirt and construction, and water logistics and trucking — indicating Petro-Hunt manages or contracts across every major service category.
Four orders have been signed since late April 2026. Order 35355 (signed 2026-06-12) amended a spacing unit and authorized wells in the Frazier-Bakken Pool, Divide County. Order 35142 (signed 2026-05-12) amended spacing and pooling in the Stoneview-Bakken Pool across Divide, Burke, and Williams counties. Order 35143 (signed 2026-05-05) modified a spacing unit and authorized wells in the North Tioga-Bakken Pool, Burke County. Order 35277 (signed 2026-04-24) consolidated spacing and fields in the Whiteaker and/or Moraine area, Divide County. The operator's historical win rate across all case types is 90%.
Petro-Hunt's momentum score stands at 12.0 with 9 wells already authorized in the current window and 3 cases still pending — all in Divide County. The average progression probability across pending cases is 99.6%, and the operator's win rate is 90%, making near-term approval of the June 25 cases a near-certainty. The repeating 1,920-acre / 3-well template across cases 32949, 32948, and 32950 points to a standardized development package, which in ND Bakken context typically signals pad-optimized economics and predictable sequencing from spacing approval through permit to spud. Service vendors covering drilling rigs, frac crews, and water logistics should treat the 9 authorized-but-unpermitted wells as the immediate opportunity horizon.
