💡 Operator Intent

Develop an integrated production and disposal pad to handle water from co-located wells.

Document states SWD facilities and oil facilities are co-located within same berms; SWD is to be utilized by wells drilled from the same pad; Appendix B lists four planned Brenda Fed oil wells on the same pad.

Prioritize operational control and spill prevention through advanced automation.

UIC Plan describes 24-hour SCADA remote monitoring with alarms for tanks, separators, ESDV activation, tubing pressure, vibration, flow. SPCC Plan to be implemented within six months of commissioning.

Limit initial disposal to own production water, preserving future commercial potential.

UIC Plan states: 'The well has no plans to take third party volumes at this time.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Drilling & Completion Services

Permit issued with spud notification requirement and a completion deadline of June 16, 2027. Anti-collision report shows proximity to four other planned wells on pad, indicating need for precise directional drilling.

Facility Construction & Tank Installation

Tank diking variance approved but requires as-built schematic post-construction. Detailed facility schematic required within 30 days of construction completion. Co-location with oil facilities implies coordinated build-out.

Pipeline & Pressure Testing

Specific regulatory requirement for pressure testing injection pipeline before operation. Need for installation and testing services.

Earthwork, Road Construction, & Culvert Installation

Approach permit approved with specific temporary culvert dates (install 3/26/2026, remove 3/26/2027). Road designs complete. Pad layout shows significant cut/fill volumes.

Environmental Monitoring & SCADA Integration

Operator committed to 24-hour SCADA with specific alarms. Requires installation, integration, and potentially ongoing monitoring services.
