💡 Operator Intent

Execute multi-well pad development with coordinated timing and regulatory optimization

Backbuild waiver request covers 5 wells (1H-LL, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H). Stipulation requires drilling in conjunction with another well. Detailed pad layout shows multiple well slots and production facilities.

Implement advanced completion design with regulatory-approved exceptions

North setback exception based on wet shoe design with frac-out capability. Detailed completion schematic shows specialized equipment (hydraulic toe sleeve, ball seat for testing).

Minimize surface disturbance through pad consolidation and earthwork optimization

Detailed earthwork calculations (55,300 cu yds cut, 65,110 cu yds fill). Multi-well pad reduces overall disturbance. Interim reclamation plan included.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & Survey

Complex trajectory with backbuild waiver requirement. Anti-collision concerns with multiple offset wells. Taktikal Directional already engaged but may need field execution partners.

Specialized Cementing

Wet shoe installation required for regulatory setback exception. Multiple cement types specified (Type III, Class G/POZ with various additives). Cement top job required if fallback >10' below ground.

Waste Management & Environmental

Closed mud system required. Cuttings disposal pre-arranged with Smoky Butte Environmental but may need transportation services. Filter sock container management required from spud through flowback.

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Large earthwork volumes (65,110 cu yds). Detailed grading specifications. Uintah Engineering design complete, but construction contractors needed. 18" culvert installation required.
