North Dakota winters hit -40°F. Roads close without warning. Remote well sites lose cell coverage for miles. WellRun automates Bakken crew dispatch so extreme weather and isolation don't shut your operation down.
Most Bakken operators are paying 10–20x more than they should for dispatch software — and getting none of the North Dakota-specific functionality they actually need.

The Bakken Formation stretches from western North Dakota into eastern Montana — a 200,000+ square mile play centered on the Williston Basin. Operators running crews from Williston to Sidney are dealing with NDIC regulations on one side and Montana Board of Oil and Gas oversight on the other, with EPA requirements applying to both.
The North Dakota Industrial Commission requires specific documentation for saltwater disposal operations, flaring compliance, and crew certifications at every well site. Manual tracking across that regulatory surface area means missed expirations and last-minute scrambles. WellRun flags certification issues before crew assignment — before you're already in the field.
Saltwater disposal well coordination is a unique Bakken operational challenge. SWD scheduling is often managed in a completely separate system from crew dispatch — creating blind spots and double-booking risks. WellRun integrates SWD logistics into the same dispatch view.
The Bakken is one of the harshest operating environments in North American oil and gas. Winter temperatures regularly hit -40°F. Blizzard conditions can close North Dakota highways — including Highway 85 between Williston and Watford City — in hours. A weather event that hits McKenzie County doesn't stay in McKenzie County: it cascades across the whole day's schedule.
Most dispatch platforms treat weather as a one-off manual intervention — the dispatcher updates each job individually while crews are calling in from the field. WellRun lets you flag a weather event and cascade the impact across every affected job cluster at once. Reassignments, crew notifications, and updated ETAs happen in a single action.
The Bakken's boom-bust cycles are a separate scheduling reality. WellRun is month-to-month because your software contract shouldn't outlast a commodity price correction. Run 40 crews or 5 — the price stays $99/month.
AI dispatch, NDIC compliance tracking, extreme-weather scheduling, offline crew sync, and automated invoicing — all at $99/mo flat. Same-day setup. No credit card required.
