🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional drilling and surveying services

High survey frequency and anticollision requirements signal immediate need for MWD/LWD tools and real-time correction ahead of spud dates in 2027

Hydraulic fracturing services (diesel-free)

Pre-selected Halliburton for completions, with frac out shoe design indicating urgency for specialized frac equipment post-drilling

Pressure control and BOP equipment

Specified Cameron and Shaffer components in rig setup, relevant for rig mobilization and testing prior to operations

Civil engineering and surveying

KLJ and surveyor involvement in pad construction, with grading and erosion control details indicating pre-spud site prep opportunities

Regulatory and permitting support

BLM and NDIC coordination required, with potential for delays if not addressed before April 2027 spud
