💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad with coordinated drilling to satisfy complex spacing requirements

Requirement to drill in conjunction with another well for spacing justification; diagrams show WILLA 2H, 3H, 4H, and 1 SWD on same pad

Implement advanced completion techniques with wet shoe design for regulatory compliance

North setback approval conditioned on production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out shoe

Proactively manage regulatory and neighbor relations through formal notifications

Affidavit showing notification to Oasis per NDIC Order 31848; specific inspector contact requirement before construction

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling Services

Complex well path with specific geometric constraints (setbacks, spacing requirements); operator using specialized planning vendor (TAKTIKAL DIRECTIONAL)

Cementing and Completion Services

Wet shoe design required for regulatory approval; specialized cementing needed for production liner in lateral

Earthwork and Pad Construction

Waste Management

Pre-selected disposal facility (Smoky Butte Environmental); closed mud system with no cuttings pit required
