🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Geological steering and mud logging

Services began November 11, 2025, aligning with vertical drilling start; opportunity for real-time support through TD

Directional drilling tools and software

Lateral drilling commenced November 16, 2025; vendors for bits, motors, and steering software needed immediately

Completion and fracturing services

Well TD November 19, 2025, with wet shoe for frac-out; urgency for liner and completion ops post-drilling
