💡 Operator Intent

Accelerate drilling and evaluation timeline by waiving standard logs

Operator requested and received approval to waive open hole logs based on offset well data, stating only GR-CBL will be run from TD to ground level.

Implement pad-scale development with multi-well infrastructure

Documents reference 'BURKE 34 SENE 1' pad with 7 wells (413-3421H, 418-3421H, 415-3411H, 414-3416H, 419-3416H, 416-3512H, 420-3516H) and detailed production facility design.

Use engineered completion with planned frac-out operation

Stipulation mentions 'production liner cemented in lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe' and drilling plan notes 'EOG Resources, Inc. respectfully requests permission to frac out the toe.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Closed-loop drilling systems

Mandatory 'Closed mud system with no cuttings pit' requirement creates immediate need for specialized fluid handling equipment and services.

Pad construction and earthwork

Detailed pad design with 28,295 CY excavation and 36,110 CY fill indicates major earthwork opportunity; construction must wait until after contact with NDIC Inspector Dylan Roach.

Cementing with frac-out capability

Production liner requires specialized cementing for wet shoe design to enable planned frac-out operation.

Filter waste management

Explicit requirement for leak-proof filter sock container on site from spud through flowback creates ongoing waste handling need.
