💡 Operator Intent

Optimize lateral design for boundary setbacks using fraccable wet shoe to maximize reservoir access.

Stipulation on west setback based on cemented liner with wet shoe and fracing capability.

Centralize production infrastructure by flowlining to existing Albert North pad, reducing per-well costs.

Assertion that well and facility not on same pad; proposed flowline to Albert North pad.

Ensure regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship through closed systems and specific disposal.

Mandated closed mud system, no cuttings pit, and haul to IHD Solids Management.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Environmental and disposal services

Closed-loop mud system and cuttings disposal to IHD required immediately upon spud; signals persistent demand for compliant waste management in Bakken.

Directional drilling and surveying

Specific azimuth-based coordinates and survey frequency (100' vertical, 30' curve, 90' lateral) mandate precise tools; timing tied to spud and completion phases for urgent deployment.

Cementing and casing services

Detailed cement programs with additives for each casing string; opportunity post-spud for specialized formulations to meet compressive strength timelines.
