Spacing units and orders
10,573 drilling spacing units have a page with the unit footprint, the surveyed wells inside it and the NDIC hearing orders that created or changed it; 13,420 orders have a page listing the units they touched. Order facts are machine-extracted from the signed orders and not human-reviewed.
About this index
The pages are rebuilt automatically from the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources public GIS download of well records, so they track NDIC's own updates, including newly permitted locations before they are drilled. Each page carries the published surface location with one-tap directions, and links into the regional 3D viewer for wells with surveyed paths.
