💡 Operator Intent

Pursue multi-well pad development with drill-back into adjacent sections for efficient reserve access.

Affidavit details drill-back into Section 36 and plan to operate at least two wells on the pad, supported by directional plans and notices to adjacent operators.

Minimize surface impact and regulatory hurdles through off-spacing approvals and specific setback compliance.

Permit conditions specify 1220' setback justification and surface use agreements with landowners, with well designed for cross-unit access.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Waste disposal

Cuttings disposal at Roughrider Disposal signals immediate need for on-site waste handling upon spud, with potential for volume increases if multi-well pad proceeds.

Directional drilling and surveying

Detailed directional points and survey programs (e.g., 0-OWSG MWD) indicate pre-planned trajectory, creating opportunity for specialized directional services post-permit approval.
