💡 Operator Intent

Minimize upfront drilling costs by using a smaller rig for surface hole before mobilizing full TD rig.

Request for 90-day suspension to set surface casing with small rig, move off, and return with larger rig; emphasizes cost and time savings without altering lease terms.

Expedite operations by waiving redundant logging based on offset data.

Waiver for open hole logs citing sufficient data from nearby well B HAUG 14-19H; includes GR-CBL from TD to surface.

Ensure regulatory compliance and spacing unit balance in 2560-acre unit.

Stipulations require equal horizontal wells per 1280-acre subsection, with potential hearing if not met; anti-collision measures detailed.

Maintain operational continuity by renewing permit before expiration.

Permit renewal request approved, extending to beyond original expiration; charges to Hess credit card.
