Utilize advanced completion techniques for optimized production.

Wet shoe for toe fracturing and detailed cementing/mud programs.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional drilling and surveying

Permit approved February 2026, with directional plans ready; drilling likely imminent, requiring immediate mobilization of Taktikal Directional.

Waste disposal and environmental services

Closed-loop system specified, with Smoky Butte as pre-selected; operations starting soon post-approval, creating urgent need for cuttings handling.

Completion and fracturing

Wet shoe design and diesel-free stimulation detailed; completion phase follows drilling, signaling near-term opportunity for specialized frac services.
