💡 Operator Intent

Multi-well pad development with coordinated planning

Document references five wells on same pad (Oakland 154-89-33-28H-1/2/3 and Severance 153-89-4-9H-3/4); anticollision report shows close spacing planning

Maximizing lateral placement within constrained spacing unit

Special north setback approval with cemented shoe design allows 50' setback vs standard; lateral extends 10,944' north from surface location

Proactive regulatory compliance and documentation

Includes multiple affidavits (Ryan Harkins, Emily DiCarlo), diesel fuel compliance letter, and detailed anticollision analysis

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil construction and pad development

78,370 cubic yards of excavation planned; pad construction must begin after 3rd business day following permit publication but requires prior inspector contact

Cuttings handling and waste management

Closed mud system with no cuttings pit requires specialized handling; all cuttings hauled to approved facility

Cementing services

Critical design requirement for fully cemented production liner shoe with no ability to frac out; requires precise execution
