🔧 Service Relevance

Frac services
With planned 50 stages and large fluid/proppant volumes, demand for frac fleets is imminent post-drilling; monitor for back-to-back sequencing delays.
Waste management and environmental services
Container requirement from spud and disposal permits needed; opportunity during clean-out and flow-back phases.
Surveying and engineering
Access road and pad design completed; potential for follow-on services if modifications needed before construction.
