📊 Signals (5)

Tier	Signal	Date	Service Impact
Tier 2	Wet shoe completion design with ability to frac out the shoe 📄 Stipulations and Completion Type note Completion design specified as 'Wet shoe with the ability to frac out the shoe.' This is a specific technical approach affecting cementing and stimulation operations.	Unknown	Completions / Frac
Tier 3	Drillback waiver filed for multi-well pad, allowing surface location outside spacing unit and entry into adjacent unit 📄 Drillback Notification Waiver section Operator secured regulatory pre-approval to drill 7 wells from pad in Section 19 into adjacent spacing unit (Sections 6,7,18), bypassing standard notification requirements. This indicates a coordinated multi-well development strategy with complex pad positioning.	2026-06-29	Directional Drilling
Tier 3	Surface Use Agreement executed specifically for off-unit wells 📄 Affidavit Affirming Surface Use Agreement Agreement explicitly covers 'drilling of off-unit wells' at this location, not just standard operations. This is a proactive legal move enabling the drillback waiver strategy.	2026-06-06	Drilling Rigs
Tier 3	Closed mud system with cuttings hauled to specific licensed facility 📄 Stipulations and Disposal of Drill Cuttings section Permit mandates closed-loop system with cuttings hauled to Smoky Butte Environmental LLC (specific address provided). This is a non-routine environmental compliance requirement.	Unknown	Mud / Fluids
Tier 3	Mandatory contact with specific NDIC Field Inspector prior to location construction⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE 📄 Stipulations section Permit condition requires operator to contact Inspector Jason Hicks (phone number provided) before starting pad construction. This is an extra regulatory checkpoint.	Relative	General Oilfield Services

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a coordinated, multi-well development from a single pad (Little Rodney Pad) with complex trajectory planning.

Drillback waiver covers 7 wells (1H-B through 7H-B). Pad layout diagrams show multiple wellheads. Directional plan shows trajectories for multiple wells from same surface location.
Minimize surface footprint and regulatory friction by consolidating operations on one pad, even when targeting units with different surface ownership.

Surface Use Agreement secured for off-unit wells. Pad is in Section 19, but laterals target Sections 6,7,18. Multi-well plan shows dense well placement.
Adhere to heightened environmental controls, pre-selecting waste disposal and mandating specific construction practices.

Closed mud system with named disposal vendor. Requirement for impermeable dike materials. Mandatory filter sock container.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Complex multi-well trajectories from a single pad, with drillback waiver in place, indicate imminent need for precise execution. Taktikal Directional is already engaged in planning.

Earthwork & Pad Construction

Detailed pad layout and earthwork quantities (91,130 Cu. Yds. total cut/fill) are specified. Construction cannot start until inspector call (Jason Hicks). UELS has completed design.

Waste Hauling & Disposal

Closed-loop system mandated with cuttings going exclusively to Smoky Butte Environmental. This is a non-competitive, time-sensitive service tied to drilling operations.

Cementing & Completion Services

Specific wet shoe completion design requires specialized cementing. 'Ability to frac out the shoe' indicates a tailored stimulation approach.
