Expedite permitting despite incomplete surface agreements

Submitted permit with pending Surface Use Agreement (only verbal permission) and affidavit stating negotiations ongoing. Shows urgency to secure regulatory approval.
Implement high-spec environmental controls and waste management

Closed mud system, cuttings to specific landfill, leak-proof filter sock containers, perimeter berms, and impermeable dike materials specified throughout.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Earthwork and Pad Construction

Immediate need due to: 1) Required excavation of potential legacy reserve pit, 2) Large cut/fill quantities (85,210 cu yds), 3) Mandatory pre-construction inspector contact, 4) Pad built for multiple future wells.

Waste Hauling and Disposal

Locked-in requirement to haul cuttings to 13 Mile Landfill in Williston via closed-loop system. Specific facility named creates contracted opportunity.

Directional Drilling/MWD

KLX Directional pre-selected but anti-collision planning shows complex well paths with close approaches to other wells on pad. Specialized steering required.

Cementing Services

Non-routine wet shoe design with ability to frac out shoe requires precise cementing execution during liner installation.
