Unknown

Mud / Fluids

💡 Operator Intent

Maximize reservoir contact within complex multi-well pad while managing spacing unit boundaries

Backbuild waiver request for 5 wells entering adjacent spacing units, specific perforation placement relative to boundaries, and detailed anti-collision planning with offset wells

Implement redundant completion systems to ensure operational reliability

Wet shoe with frac-out capability plus backup hyd toe sleeve design, indicating focus on completion success and contingency planning

Prioritize environmental compliance and neighbor relations

Closed mud system, explicit waste disposal contractor, filter sock container requirements acknowledgment, and notification commitments to adjacent operators

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Survey Services

Complex multi-well pad with backbuild design requires precise trajectory execution; Taktikal Directional already engaged but implementation services needed

Completion & Stimulation Services

Wet shoe with frac-out capability and backup systems indicate specialized completion expertise required; perforation placement precision needed

Earthwork & Pad Construction

Pad re-grading already occurred (REV 02); ongoing earthwork balance calculations and compaction requirements indicate active site preparation

Environmental & Waste Management

Closed loop system implementation, cuttings disposal to specific facility, and filter sock container management required from spud through flowback
