💡 Operator Intent

Multi-well pad development with coordinated infrastructure

Pad named 'CLEARWATER 31 NENE 2' designed for 6 wells (Clearwater 33-3024H, 50-3024H, J 42-3024H, 51-3018H, 44-3007H, 41-3007H) with shared production facilities

Prioritize regulatory compliance over maximum lateral length

Voluntarily excluding completion of curved section (22,260'-24,020' MD) to maintain 500' setback despite having drilled through area

Implement advanced well control and environmental protection measures

Specifies closed mud system, automatic shutoff devices, leak-proof filter sock containers, and perimeter berms beyond basic requirements

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Revised azimuth (316°) and complex U-turn geometry require precise execution; as-drilled survey must be submitted prior to completion

Cementing Services

Specific Halliburton cement systems specified; silica flour required in production liner cement due to high BH temps (~198°F)

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Massive pad expansion (16.5 acres) with 57,500 CY excavation indicates imminent site preparation for multi-well pad

Fracture Stimulation

96 proposed stages with toe-initiation design; prior approval required for U-turn well completion procedures

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance

Specific inspector contact required; filter sock container mandate; heightened reporting requirements for this well
