💡 Operator Intent

Execute high-density pad development with precise well placement to maximize reservoir contact

Anti-collision analysis shows 5 wells on same pad with tight spacing; detailed directional planning with Scientific Drilling; pad layout shows systematic well placement

Prioritize regulatory compliance and environmental protection through engineered solutions

Closed mud system requirement; no open pits; fully cemented liner shoe; detailed containment and berm specifications; filter sock container mandate

Coordinate multi-well pad development with synchronized operations

Pad layout shows 5 wells (Oakland 154-89-33-28H-1 through -3 and Severance 153-89-4-9H-3 and -4) on same pad with shared infrastructure

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Survey Services

Critical due to tight anti-collision requirements (Separation Factors as low as 1.581) and precise placement needed for regulatory compliance with spacing unit boundaries

Regulatory Compliance & Inspection Coordination

Mandatory pre-construction contact with specific NDIC inspector (Calob Werre); complex spacing unit crossing requires affidavit and documentation

Cementing & Completion Services

Unusual requirement for fully cemented production liner shoe with no ability to frac out; affects completion design and requires specialized cementing expertise

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Large-scale pad development (78,370 CY excavation) with 5 wells; detailed engineering plans already prepared by KLJ Engineering
