SOGC, LLC is an active Mountrail County Bakken operator carrying 139 total wells (89 active, 92 producing) and 3 pending cases — all scheduled for a single June 25, 2026 hearing. The docket is tightly focused: two pooling cases (32953, 32954) and one spacing unit case (32937) targeting the Sanish-Bakken and Alger-Bakken Pools across contiguous sections in T.154N./T.155N., R.92W. The spacing unit case authorizes 8 wells on a 1,920-acre unit and carries a 99.9% progression probability; both pooling cases sit at 100%. With an 85% historical win rate and a momentum ramp score of 11.0, SOGC enters this hearing as a well-positioned, focused operator with near-certain near-term authorization in hand.
All 3 pending cases are set for Mountrail County on June 25, 2026 — SOGC's next hearing date. The geographic target is a tight cluster: T.154N., R.92W., Sections 4, 5, 6 and T.155N., R.92W., Sections 31, 32, 33. Cases 32953 and 32954 are pooling applications covering the Sanish-Bakken Pool and (in 32954) the Alger-Bakken Pool as well. Case 32937 is a spacing unit application for both pools across the same six sections, requesting authorization for 8 wells on a 1,920-acre unit. None of the three cases have been continued previously; all are first-hearing, new-pending filings. Prior-well counts of 13–14 at these locations confirm this is established, not greenfield, territory.
SOGC's total well count stands at 139, with 89 active and 9 plugged. Notably, 92 wells are currently producing — a figure that exceeds the active count and merits verification. The work-type footprint spans the full development cycle: drilling rigs, frac crews, frac sand, new-pad dirt and construction, and water logistics and trucking, indicating SOGC operates across multiple simultaneous project phases rather than as a pure driller or pure producer.
No signed orders appear in the recent-orders record — the entire active docket is forward-looking. The 3 pending cases carry an average progression probability of 100% across the two pooling cases and 99.9% on the spacing unit. SOGC's historical win rate is 85%, and the momentum ramp score is 11.0 with 8 wells authorized in the current pipeline. The high-probability, all-Mountrail concentration suggests a deliberate regulatory strategy: lock down pooling and spacing authority simultaneously before moving to permitting.
The overlap between the two pooling cases and the spacing unit case is not coincidental. Sections 4, 5, 6 of T.154N.-R.92W. appear in all three filings; Sections 31, 32, 33 of T.155N.-R.92W. appear in two of the three. Filing pooling and spacing unit cases concurrently over the same sections compresses what is typically a sequential regulatory process, positioning SOGC to move directly to permitting once orders are signed. With prior-well counts of 13–14 at these locations and no greenfield exposure, the infrastructure groundwork is already laid — the regulatory approvals are the remaining gating item.
