🎯 Operator Intent

To establish a centralized SWD facility for efficient disposal of produced water from multiple nearby pads via piped infrastructure.

↳ Facility diagram shows buried transfer lines connecting to pending Murex AB-Pad and Chord Davidson-Pad wells, with primary reliance on piping over trucking.

To comply with stringent UIC stipulations for environmental and safety features to minimize regulatory risks.

↳ Stipulations include perimeter berm, remote shutdowns, tank sensors, and synthetic liners, integrated into permit conditions.

🔧 Service Relevance

Regulatory notification and inspection coordination

24-hour prior notification to NDIC required before rig up, aligning with spudding timeline for immediate service availability.

Pipeline and pump installation for water transfer

Facility construction includes new buried low-pressure lines and transfer pumps, with timing linked to source well drilling completions.

Automation and monitoring system setup

PLC system with SCADA for tank levels and shutdowns must be installed prior to injection, creating post-construction opportunity.
