💡 Operator Intent

Execute multi-well pad development with precise well spacing and anti-collision management

Anticollision report references multiple offset wells (McAlmond 155-89-32-20H-1, -3, Oakland 154-89-5-17H-1) on same pad; detailed pad layout shows four well sites.

Implement stringent environmental and regulatory controls from spud through flowback

Multiple specific conditions: closed mud system, no cuttings pit, filter sock container requirement, perimeter berm, impermeable dike material, and direct inspector contact.

Lock in long-lead design to secure permit and schedule future operations

Permit approved with 2026 dates, submitted in advance; waiver requirement for any changes indicates desire to freeze design early.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Close well spacing (1.926 separation factor) demands high-precision services; Scientific Drilling already engaged but monitoring/anti-collision services are critical.

Civil Construction & Pad Building

Specific contact requirement with NDIC inspector prior to construction creates a timing gate; pad design by KLJ is complete, ready for construction.

Environmental & Waste Management

Closed mud system, no pits, and filter sock container mandate specialized waste handling and containment services from spud through flowback.

Cementing & Well Integrity

Fully cemented production liner shoe is a non-routine constraint affecting completion design; requires specialized cementing to ensure isolation.
