North Dakota NDIC Reporting
Bakken filings. Methane overlap. One source of truth.
North Dakota Industrial Commission monthly production filings sit at the intersection of frac-stage tracking, GOR reporting, condensate allocation, and methane regulatory (NDIC venting/flaring rules + EPA OOOOb/c + North Dakota gas-capture targets). WorkSync assembles all four from one Data Hub source and reconciles against your accounting system before submission.
Four Bakken pain points
What makes NDIC harder than the rest.
Pain 01
Frac-stage tracking
The pain
NDIC requires well-test cadence tied to frac stages for the first 90 days of production. Tracking stages by hand from completion reports through to monthly filings is fragile.
WorkSync fix
Completion data pulled from FracFocus and operator stage logs, mapped to NDIC well-test schedule automatically. Missing stages flagged before they become a filing exception.
Pain 02
GOR granularity
The pain
Gas-oil ratio reporting in the Bakken is tighter than other basins because the oil-cut window is narrow. GORs that look like they should flag a gas breakthrough often pass NDIC review only if the underlying data is clean.
WorkSync fix
GOR calculated per well per day from SCADA, reconciled against well tests, and submitted with the audit trail intact. Outliers flagged before filing.
Pain 03
Condensate allocation
The pain
Multi-well pads with shared sales meters mean condensate volumes must be allocated back. The allocation factor drives the severance tax math, royalty calc, and NDIC volume reporting all at once.
WorkSync fix
Allocation engine produces a single factor used consistently across NDIC, severance tax, and revenue distribution. No three-way reconciliation cycle.
Pain 04
Methane regulatory overlap
The pain
NDIC venting/flaring rules + EPA OOOOb/c methane requirements + ND gas-capture targets means one missed survey can trigger multiple filings and one missed well can fail multiple compliance thresholds.
WorkSync fix
LDAR survey schedule, fugitive emission events, capture percentages, and venting volumes all assembled from one data layer. NDIC, OOOOb/c, and gas-capture filings generate from the same source.

Frequently asked
What ND production accountants ask about NDIC automation.
What does NDIC require?
Monthly Form 5/5B per well: oil, gas, water, condensate, GOR, well-test, run-ticket totals. Due 5th business day of the second month after production. Methane overlap with EPA OOOOb/c.
What makes Bakken NDIC harder?
Frac-stage tracking through first 90 days drives well-test cadence. GOR more granular than other basins. Condensate allocation across shared sales meters. Methane regulatory overlap (NDIC + EPA OOOOb/c + ND gas-capture rule).
How does WorkSync work?
Data Hub pulls accounting (Enertia / Quorum / W Energy / PakEnergy / Oildex) + SCADA (Ignition / OSI Pi / Cygnet). Allocation engine handles commingled condensate. Methane reports generate from same source-of-truth as NDIC.
Gas-capture compliance?
Yes. ND gas-capture rule (75% minimum, 90% target) tracked per well from flare/vent SCADA. Wells trending toward non-compliance flagged before deadline.
Replaces our accounting?
No. Read-only on accounting + SCADA. WorkSync adds regulatory assembly + reconciliation. System of record stays.
Deploy timeline?
2 weeks integration. 4 weeks to live production filing under Impact Guarantee. Anchor metric: analyst hours per cycle + variance flags caught before submission.
Automate NDIC in 4 weeks.
One field. One filing cycle. Day 7 we show variances against your current filing. Day 28 you decide.
