💡 Operator Intent

Develop 4-well pad with coordinated timing to optimize rig and crew efficiency

Proposed work states '4 wells total' with signed rig contract and estimated spud date; pad layout shows all 4 well locations
Minimize surface disturbance through pad consolidation and interim reclamation planning

Detailed pad layout with exact earthwork quantities (24,380 cu yds cut) and interim reclamation plan showing phased approach
Use engineered completion with wet shoe system to enable closer boundary approach

Regulatory setback approval conditioned on 'production liner cemented in lateral with wet shoe and ability to frac out the shoe'
Proactively manage regulatory and offset operator relations to avoid delays

Waiver provided to Chord Energy with detailed plans; surface agreement secured early; BLM coordination initiated promptly
