💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with precise well spacing and anti-collision management.

Well is part of a 4-well pad (H-2, H-3, H-4, H-5 per pad layout). Anti-collision report shows planned paths in close proximity, and the permit includes a detailed operator anti-collision statement.
Prioritize regulatory and environmental compliance through pre-emptive documentation and detailed site planning.

Includes a 2022 affidavit on diesel-free frac fluids, a 2025 filter sock regulatory letter, and an extensive, recently updated engineered pad design with interim reclamation plans.
Utilize engineered completion designs for specific zonal isolation and fracture initiation.

Specification of a cemented liner with a 'wet shoe' sub to allow first stage frac out the shoe, indicating a designed completion sequence rather than standard plug-and-perf.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling / MWD / Geo-steering

Anti-collision report (June 2025) shows very close approaches to other wells. Drilling must commence with high-precision surveys and real-time anti-collision monitoring as per Hess's stated standards.

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Engineered pad design is complete (May 2025). Construction must follow detailed KLJ plans. Significant quantities of excavation, embankment, surfacing, and erosion control installation are required before drilling can spud.

Cementing Services

Non-standard cementing program with a wet shoe sub and specific over-displacement volume for the production liner. Requires precise execution to achieve designed zonal isolation and frac access.

Hydraulic Fracturing Services

Halliburton is pre-selected per 2022 affidavit. Completion design (wet shoe, plug-and-perf for subsequent stages) dictates specific frac fleet and pump-down capabilities. Planning should be advanced.

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance Services

Mandatory contact with specific NDIC Field Inspector prior to construction. Need for filter sock container management and adherence to detailed erosion control plans creates ongoing compliance service needs.
