💡 Operator Intent

Maximize lateral length within unit boundaries using engineered completion design

Reduced east/west setbacks (150' vs standard 500') allowed due to cemented production liner with wet shoe design specifically to 'frac out the shoe'

Centralize production facilities to reduce surface footprint and operational costs

Explicit note that wells on this pad flowline to CTB on William West Pad rather than having production equipment on location

Aggressive pad development with coordinated regulatory compliance

Five wells planned from same pad (1H-5H) with affidavit showing batch notification to adjacent operator for all wells simultaneously

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Flowline construction

Explicit requirement to connect this pad to existing William West CTB pad for production handling

Specialized cementing services

Wet shoe design with ability to frac out shoe requires precise cementing for reduced boundary setbacks

Erosion control and berm construction

Mandatory perimeter berm and long-term erosion control plan required before construction commencement

Closed-loop drilling systems

Mandatory closed mud system with specific waste disposal routing creates immediate equipment and service need
