💡 Operator Intent

Maximize lateral length within spacing unit while navigating boundary constraints

West setback exception based on production liner with wet shoe design and ability to frac out shoe, allowing closer proximity to boundary

Execute multi-well pad development with coordinated regulatory strategy

Affidavit shows notification for 5 wells (1H-5H) on same pad; email references multiple permit applications within same federal minerals spacing unit

Implement engineered completion design with redundancy for toe stimulation

Wet shoe with frac-out capability specified; hydraulic toe sleeve listed as backup in case wet shoe fails

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Specialized cementing services

West setback exception hinges on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe design; requires precise execution to meet regulatory condition

Regulatory coordination and permitting

Mandatory contact with specific field inspector before construction; federal minerals coordination required with BLM; adjacent unit notifications already filed

Drilling waste management

Closed mud system with cuttings disposal pre-awarded to Secure Energy Services; opportunity locked unless contract changes

Pad construction and earthwork

Detailed engineering plans with specific compaction requirements (95-100% proctor); impermeable liner required at inspector discretion; timing dependent on inspector contact
