📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Operator requested and received a waiver to run tubing and a packer, intending to flow well up 7" casing post-frac. Justification includes casing specs, safety factors, and flowback monitoring plans. 📄 Tubing/Packer Waiver Sundry (FORM ID: 325233) Non-standard completion design omits tubing and packer initially. Indicates a specific flowback and early production strategy relying on casing integrity, with implications for well control, monitoring, and subsequent workover.	2026-07-20	Completions / Frac
Tier 2	Operator requested and received Suspension of Drilling (SOD) for up to 90 days to use a smaller rig for surface hole only, with a planned transition to a larger rig (NABORS B21) by 12/25/2025.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Suspension of Drilling Sundry (FORM ID: 278345) Reveals a staged drilling strategy to save cost and time. Creates a specific window for small rig services (surface drilling, casing, cementing) followed by a defined opportunity for a large rig (NABORS B21) to move on location by late December 2025.	2025-11-03	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Stipulation: 'The north setback is based on a production liner cemented in the lateral with a fully cemented shoe and no ability to frac out the shoe.' 📄 Permit Modification Stipulations (Page 2 of 10) Explicit regulatory condition dictating a specific cementing design for the production liner shoe, removing a common contingency (fracing out). This is a locked-in design constraint.	2025-10-30	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Well spacing unit was changed from 1280 acres (Sections 28,33) to 3840 acres (Sections 20,21,28,29,32,33) via permit modification, significantly extending the lateral length and target area. 📄 Permit Modification (Page 7 of 10) Major design change indicating a more aggressive development plan with a longer lateral (~16,000 ft vs. ~10,000 ft estimated). Requires different drilling, completion, and proppant volumes.	2025-10-30	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Multiple, repeated well name changes (OAKLAND 154-89-33-28H-1 <-> OAKLAND 154-89-32-21H-1) across multiple sundry notices, indicating administrative confusion or strategic repositioning of the well. 📄 Multiple Well Name Change Sundries (FORM IDs: 275199, 310246, 326617) Unusual frequency of name changes suggests potential issues with initial permitting, land/unit alignment, or a strategic shift in target location within the pad. Highlights administrative diligence.	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Optimize capital efficiency by using a cost-effective, staged drilling approach (small rig then large rig).

SOD request explicitly states intent 'to take advantage of the cost savings and time savings of using an initial rig that is smaller than the rig necessary to drill a well to total depth.'
Accelerate development and maximize reservoir contact within a large unit.

Permit modification to expand spacing unit from 1280 to 3840 acres, resulting in a significantly longer lateral (TD ~25,069' vs original ~20,052').
Simplify initial completion and flowback to accelerate production, accepting a future workover.

Request for tubing/packer waiver to flow up casing, with plan to install production equipment 'as soon as possible after the well ceases flowing.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Drilling & Rig Services

Two-phase rig schedule: Small rig (T&S) for surface hole immediately, with a firm transition to large rig (NABORS B21) by late Dec 2025. Creates sequential opportunities.

Cementing

Non-routine stipulation requiring a fully cemented production liner shoe with 'no ability to frac out.' This is a high-stakes, mandatory design requirement for the upcoming completion.

Flowback & Well Testing

Tubing/packer waiver dictates an unconventional flowback up casing, requiring specialized pressure monitoring and well control services during initial production.

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Pad is shared with another well (Shell 153-89-5-16H-1). Detailed cut/fill volumes and pad design by KLJ indicate recent or imminent construction activity.
