💡 Operator Intent

Execute a tightly scheduled, multi-well pad development with accelerated start.

Affidavit to waive waiting period cites contracted civil construction starting ~5/1/2026; surface agreement covers 4 wells (1H-4H); permit includes detailed pad layout sheets for multiple wells.
Maximize lateral placement within spacing unit using engineered completion design.

West setback reduction approved based on wet shoe design with frac-out capability; lateral targets precise FSL/FWL coordinates (e.g., BHL at 1900' FSL, 150' FWL).
Maintain strict regulatory compliance and pre-emptive communication.

Mandatory pre-construction contact with specific field inspector; explicit inclusion of filter sock container requirement memo; detailed affirmation of numerous regulatory understandings.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil Construction & Site Preparation

Construction contracted to start on or around 2026-05-01, with waiver requested to bypass standard waiting period. Immediate mobilization needed.

Directional Drilling & MWD Services

Complex well path with precise targets (KOP, casing point, BHL) and survey requirements (100'/30'/90' intervals). Planning indicates imminent drilling post-construction.

Completion & Stimulation Services

Wet shoe design with frac-out capability specified for the production liner. Implies a specific completion methodology needing specialized equipment and expertise.

Environmental & Waste Management

Closed mud system, cuttings disposal to IHD Solids Management, and on-site filter sock container required from spud through flowback. Services needed throughout drilling and completion phases.
