Rockport Energy Solutions, LLC is a focused North Dakota Bakken operator running a 14-well total portfolio with 6 active wells and 5 producing now, entirely concentrated in McKenzie County. As of June 25, 2026, the company has 2 pending cases — a spacing unit (Case 32777) and a companion pooling (Case 32807) — both targeting the Charlie Bob-Bakken Pool across T.145N., R.98W., Sections 3, 10, 15, 22, with 4 wells authorized under the spacing application on a 2,560-acre unit. Both cases carry a 100% ML progression probability and head into today's hearing backed by an 85% historical win rate. A spacing unit amendment order (No. 35272) was signed May 12, 2026 in the Butte/Bennett Creek-Bakken Pool, signaling recent regulatory activity across multiple McKenzie County pools. The operator's work-type footprint spans drilling rigs, frac crews, frac sand, pad construction, and water logistics — a full-cycle service profile consistent with active development.
Rockport has 2 pending cases, both scheduled for hearing on June 25, 2026 in McKenzie County. Case 32777 is a spacing unit application for the Charlie Bob-Bakken Pool, covering 2,560 acres across T.145N., R.98W., Sections 3, 10, 15, and 22, with 4 wells authorized. Case 32807 is a companion pooling application over the identical legal description and pool. Both cases were first heard April 23, 2026, carry a pipeline status of 'new pending,' and show a 100% ML progression probability. Neither has been continued. The stage label for both is 'Spacing approved - no permit yet,' meaning the regulatory path is open but drilling permits have not yet been issued. A prior well already exists in these sections, confirming this is an infill or expansion program rather than a greenfield entry.
The total portfolio stands at 14 wells: 6 active, 5 producing now, and 0 plugged. The gap between active and producing — 6 versus 5 — implies one well has been completed but not yet turned to sales, a common pattern in McKenzie County where infrastructure timing can lag completion. No wells have been plugged, consistent with a young or well-maintained asset base. The operator's work-type coverage — drilling rigs, frac crews, frac sand, new-pad dirt and construction, and water logistics and trucking — reflects a fully integrated development operation rather than a single-phase contractor relationship.
Order No. 35272, signed May 12, 2026, covers an Application for Spacing Unit Amendment and Well Authorization in McKenzie County's Butte/Bennett Creek-Bakken Pool. This is distinct from the Charlie Bob-Bakken Pool targeted in the two pending cases, indicating Rockport is actively managing regulatory positions across at least two named pools in McKenzie County simultaneously. The historical win rate across cases is 85%, and the 2 pending cases both carry a 100% individual progression probability.
The momentum picture is unambiguous: 2 pending cases, 2 flagged as high-probability, 4 wells authorized, and a ramp score of 6.0 all point to a company in active expansion within a single county. The concentration of all activity in McKenzie County is both a strength — deep local knowledge, established relationships, existing infrastructure — and a structural risk, since every producing asset and every pending authorization sits in the same regulatory and geographic basket. The 85% win rate provides a credible track record, but the portfolio's resilience to any McKenzie-specific disruption has not been tested.
