💡 Operator Intent

Maximize lateral length within spacing unit through engineered boundary exceptions.

East setback reduced to 150' based on cemented liner with wet shoe design; anti-collision protocols specifically address boundary proximity.
Implement pad-scale development with centralized facilities.

Five-well pad (H-2 through H-5 plus LN-H1) with emulsion pipeline to central facility; detailed civil design for multi-well infrastructure.
Prioritize real-time geosteering and collision avoidance in dense drilling environment.

Anti-collision standards include real-time corrected surveys, gamma ray for geosteering around existing wellbores, and frequent survey intervals.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Environmental Compliance & Waste Management

Filter sock container requirement effective from spud through flowback; closed mud system mandates specialized handling; sample submission deadlines create immediate post-drilling services.

Civil Construction & Pad Development

Mandatory pre-construction notification to specific inspector; detailed pad design with 12.42 acre disturbance indicates imminent construction phase.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Anti-collision standards require frequent surveys (every 93-100') and real-time monitoring; certified surveys must be submitted to NDIC within specific timeframe.

Cementing & Completions

Wet shoe design for boundary proximity requires specialized cementing; production liner with swell packers indicates specific completion methodology.
