💡 Operator Intent

Aggressive multi-well pad development with off-spacing strategy to maximize reservoir access

Six-well pad (1H-LL through 6H-LL) from single surface location targeting 2560-acre DSU; affidavit confirms off-spacing wells with surface agreements

Proactive anti-collision risk management with existing dry well

Specific letter to NDIC outlining mitigation plan including steering away from A. CVANCARA 9-7H and 30' survey frequency in build/drop sections

Emphasis on containment and environmental protection

Detailed containment volume calculations (10,586 bbls primary), secondary earthen berm, specific filter sock container requirements, and closed mud system

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Survey Services

Complex 6-well pad with anti-collision requirements; Taktikal Directional already engaged but need for precise execution with 30' survey frequency in critical sections

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Large earthwork quantities (145,100 cu yds) with specific compaction requirements; must contact NDIC Inspector Robert Stafford before starting

Cementing & Casing Services

Non-standard wet shoe design with backup hydraulic toe sleeve; double CBL requirements at intermediate and production casing points

Waste Management & Logistics

Closed mud system with cuttings going to specific facility (Smoky Butte Environmental); filter sock container management required from spud through flowback
