💡 Operator Intent

Consolidate midstream water handling infrastructure under Devon ownership

Transfer includes 14 SWD wells specifically listed, indicating strategic focus on produced water management assets as part of acquisition.
Maintain high-volume injection capacity despite operator change

Permit maintains 20,000 BWPD maximum injection rate with 15,000 BWPD average; facility designed for significant water volumes with piped and trucked supply.
Establish long-term SWD facility with permanent infrastructure

Detailed engineering designs include office trailer, extensive tank battery (8 tanks), high-pressure injection system, and storm water management indicating permanent operation.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Regulatory Compliance & Permitting

Operator transition creates immediate need for permit amendments, bonding updates, and regulatory alignment under Devon's systems. UIC permit renewals require ongoing landowner notifications and AOR reviews.

Pressure Testing & Pipeline Integrity

Specific 100 psi overpressure test requirement creates immediate service need upon facility commissioning or modification. Testing must be documented via Sundry Notice with detailed specifications.

Civil Engineering & Surveying

Tank diking variance requires as-built schematic submission within 30 days of construction completion. Ongoing need for survey and engineering services to maintain compliance.

Water Management & Disposal

Large-scale SWD operation (20,000 BWPD capacity) requires continuous water handling services. Transfer may open opportunities for new water midstream contracts under Devon.
