🎯 Operator Intent

🔧 Service Relevance

Directional drilling and geosteering services
Well completed in October 2025; operators can prepare for similar pads with variable formations requiring adjustments
Mud and drilling fluid services
Transition to brine in lateral suggests demand for cost-effective fluids; upcoming completions may need specialized mud
Logging and sampling services
Waivers reduce immediate need, but GR-CBL and reliance on adjacent logs indicate selective use; future wells may require full suites
