📊 Signals (6)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Approval conditional on 500' east and 150' west setbacks within 2560-acre spacing unit, with west setback based on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe. 📄 Stipulations section, first condition Unusually tight west setback (150') justified by specific liner cementing and frac-out plan, indicating a tailored engineering solution to maximize lateral length within unit boundaries.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 2	Operator requests permission to frac out the toe (wet shoe) as part of completion design. 📄 Cementing program notes, production liner section Explicitly planned frac-out of the cemented shoe is a non-standard completion technique to initiate fractures, indicating a specific stimulation design intent.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Affidavit dated September 26, 2025, affirms no diesel fuel will be used in hydraulic fracturing for this and three other Burke wells. 📄 Affidavit section, signed and notarized Formal, time-stamped legal affidavit covering a four-well pad, demonstrating proactive regulatory compliance and locking in fluid chemistry constraints well ahead of operations.	2025-09-26	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Production pad is designed 2.0 feet higher than well pad, with compaction testing required. 📄 Pad layout notes, multiple instances Intentional elevation differential for drainage/separation and explicit compaction testing requirement indicates rigorous pad construction specifications.	Unknown	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	EOG must contact NDIC Field Inspector Dylan Roach prior to location construction.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Stipulations section, specific contact requirement Mandatory pre-construction contact with a named inspector (Dylan Roach) indicates heightened regulatory oversight or site-specific sensitivities.	Relative	General Oilfield Services
Tier 3	Pad design includes a 28,000 sq ft, 4' deep containment moat capable of holding 19,950 barrels of water. 📄 Pad layout notes, wetland avoidance section Massive, engineered containment feature exceeds typical berms, indicating planned large-volume water handling or emergency containment for multi-well pad operations.	Unknown	Completions / Frac

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a multi-well pad development with sequential drilling and completion, leveraging shared infrastructure.

Affidavit covers four wells (413, 414, 415, 416); pad layout shows seven well slots (including future 420); plat notes 'Added a Couple more Well Locations'; shared production pad and containment designed.
Maximize lateral length within spacing unit by accepting a tight 150' west setback enabled by engineered liner cementing and shoe frac-out.

Stipulation explicitly ties the reduced setback to 'production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.'
Implement high-specification pad construction for environmental control and operational efficiency.

Design includes large containment moat, elevated production pad, compulsory compaction testing, and detailed cut/fill volumes indicating significant earthwork investment.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Civil Construction & Earthwork

Pad design is finalized (plats revised Nov 2025); 28,295 CY of excavation and 36,110 CY of fill specified with compaction testing required. Construction is imminent post-permit approval (06/10/2026).

Directional Drilling & MWD

Detailed directional plan with specific survey program (Superior MWD+IFR1 tool named). Drilling anticipated to start 'Upon Approval' with 60-90 day duration. Anti-collision review acknowledged.

Cementing & Stimulation

Cementing program is highly detailed with Halliburton products. Unique 'frac out the shoe' completion requires integrated cementing and stimulation planning. Affidavit locks fluid constraints.

Water & Containment Management

Large containment moat (19,950 bbl capacity) indicates major water handling needs for completion and flowback. Must be operational before high-volume operations.
