💡 Operator Intent

Develop a multi-well pad (McAlmond-Oakland Pad) with coordinated drilling of at least 3-4 wells.

Anticollision report references offsets McAlmond 155-89-32-20H-2, 20H-3, and Oakland 154-89-5-17H-1. Pad layout drawings show multiple well sites on a single graded pad with shared infrastructure.

Prioritize regulatory compliance and pre-emptive stakeholder management.

Submission of surface damage affidavit, explicit acknowledgment of frac notice rules, and stipulation to contact a specific field inspector before construction.

Implement a pad design with interim reclamation areas and strict stormwater management.

Pad layout includes designated 'Interim Reclamation Area' and 'Production Pad Area' with detailed cut/fill calculations and drainage plans.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Permit approved 7/8/2026. Must contact inspector Calob Werre BEFORE construction. Significant earthwork (49,585 CY cut, 41,795 CY fill) detailed in plans. Immediate mobilization opportunity.

Closed-Loop Drilling / Cuttings Hauling

Regulatory mandate for 'closed mud system with no cuttings pit' creates non-negotiable demand for these services at spud.

Directional Drilling / MWD

Scientific Drilling planning report indicates vendor selection. Anticollision report shows tight spacing with other wells (e.g., 1.926 ft separation to 20H-2), requiring precise execution.

Completion & Stimulation Engineering

Constraint of 'fully cemented shoe with no ability to frac out' requires specialized completion design prior to stimulation operations.
