💡 Operator Intent

Aggressive pad development with expedited timeline

Requested and received waiver to 3-day waiting period; multi-well pad designed for 6 future wells; high working interest (80.5%) in primary DSU

Cost optimization through reduced data acquisition

Plans to waive open hole logs; using produced Bakken salt water for production hole drilling; standardized cement designs

Strategic acreage development across multiple spacing units

Wellbore enters Bakken from adjacent spacing unit where operator also has working interest (55.08%); pad designed to develop 2880-acre and 3840-acre DSUs

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Closed-loop drilling systems and environmental containment

Aquifer location requires closed mud system, impermeable liner, and specialized containment - immediate need upon permit approval 5/21/2026

Directional drilling and anti-collision services

KLX Directional already engaged but complex pad with multiple wellbores requires continuous monitoring; anticollision report shows close approaches (3.695 ft separation factor)

Cementing with wet shoe expertise

North setback approval conditional on production liner cemented with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe - specialized cementing required

Earthwork and pad construction

63,700 cubic yards of earthwork planned; pad construction can begin immediately after 5/21/2026 due to waiver; designed for 6 future wells

Frac fluid and proppant supply

Slick water frac planned; pumping down 7" intermediate casing; no diesel fuels used - standard Bakken completion but large pad scale
