Hearing dockets are found here at the NDIC.
July, 2026, hearing dockets.
This is a case to be considered by the NDIC, not a permit. If approved by the NDIC, then operators can go ahead and submit permits to drill these wells within the parameters of the case that was passed.
It's my understanding that when an operator requests more wells to be drilled in a spacing unit, that number includes wells already drilled, if that makes sense. Example: in case below, Hess requests an authorization of up to 13 horizontal wells to be drilled -- this is not 13 additional wells. Rather it means an additional three wells because there are already 10 wells in this spacing unit. I could be wrong on number of wells already drilled in that drilling unit, but you get the idea.
