💡 Operator Intent

To develop a multi-well pad with trajectories that cross into adjacent spacing units, requiring pre-drilling coordination with a competitor.

Affidavit shows notification to Oasis Petroleum for five wells due to wellbores entering adjacent units per Order 31848.

To utilize a centralized production facility, reducing surface footprint and infrastructure cost per well.

Note states 'WELLS ON THIS PAD FLOWLINE TO THE CTB ON THE WILLIAM WEST PAD.'

To implement enhanced environmental and safety controls from the start of pad construction.

Stipulations require perimeter berm, closed mud system, automatic shutoff devices, and specific conductor/casing cementing to protect groundwater.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Must contact NDIC Inspector Marc Binns prior to construction. Detailed earthwork specs (compaction, materials) and quantified cut/fill volumes (83,850 CY) are provided, enabling precise bidding.

Directional Drilling & MWD

Complex trajectory with a long lateral (29,321' MD) crossing unit boundaries. Survey program specified (100'/30'/90' intervals). Target details and anti-collision review acknowledged.

Liner Hanger & Cementing Services

Non-standard 'wet shoe' production liner design requires specialized equipment and procedures for installation and subsequent 'frac out' of the shoe.

Flowline Construction

Required to connect this new pad to the existing William West CTB pad, creating a definite construction project post-drilling.

Regulatory & Land Coordination

Affidavit shows required notification to competitor (Oasis) was completed on 2026-03-11. This intent to drill is now known to the market, potentially accelerating offset operations.
