💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad with complex spacing unit crossings

Affidavit covers multiple wells (1H-LL, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H) from same pad; Backbuild Order Waiver request for traversing adjacent spacing units; pad layout shows multiple well locations

Implement specialized completion design with wet shoe technology

Regulatory condition requires production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe; completion details specify wet shoe sub and backup systems

Coordinate drilling operations with specific regulatory inspector

Explicit requirement to contact NDIC Field Inspector Robert Stafford before location construction; indicates established regulatory relationship

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Complex multi-well pad with spacing unit crossings requires precise directional planning; Taktikal Directional already engaged but execution contractors needed

Specialized Cementing & Completions

Regulatory-mandated wet shoe liner cementing with ability to frac out shoe creates specific technical requirement for completion services

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Approved pad design with 14.8 acres disturbance and 82,380 cubic yards of earthwork; construction must wait for inspector contact

Waste Management

Closed mud system with cuttings disposal to Smoky Butte Environmental; filter sock container requirement creates ongoing waste handling needs
