💡 Operator Intent

Execute large-scale pad development with complex multi-well trajectories crossing spacing unit boundaries

Backbuild Order Waiver request for 11 wells on CANDY FERRARI/GINA FERRARI pad, with wells designed to enter Bakken system outside target spacing units

Implement engineered completion with specific liner cementing and shoe frac-out capability

Regulatory approval conditioned on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe, indicating planned technical completion approach

Minimize surface disturbance through consolidated pad development with interim reclamation planning

Detailed pad layout shows 11 wells on single pad with interim reclamation areas, earthwork calculations, and excess material reuse plans

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Survey Services

11-well pad with complex trajectories crossing spacing boundaries requires sophisticated directional planning and execution; Taktikal Directional already engaged but multi-well scope creates sustained need

Specialized Cementing Services

Regulatory requirement for production liner cementing with wet shoe and frac-out capability creates immediate need for engineered cementing solutions; potential caliper log dependency adds complexity

Waste Management & Disposal

Smoky Butte Environmental pre-selected for cuttings disposal, but pad-scale operations will generate significant waste volumes requiring coordinated management

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Detailed pad design with 82,380 cu yds earthwork, containment systems, and access roads indicates imminent construction phase; UELS design complete but execution services needed
