🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Pad construction and earthwork

Location construction planned to start 10/01/2026 upon permit approval. Detailed earthwork quantities (24,380 cu yds cut) and pad design already completed by UELS. Immediate need for grading, berm construction, drainage.

Cementing services

Detailed cement program specified with exact volumes, densities, additives. Surface casing requires 60% excess cement, production casing requires specific lead/tail design. Must align with rig schedule starting ~11/1/2026.

Mud engineering and fluids

Specific mud program detailed: fresh water to 2313', OBM 9.8-10.3 ppg to 11651', brine 9.6-10.2 ppg in lateral. Closed mud system required by permit. Services needed for ~11/1 spud.

Frac and completion services

Detailed completion procedure specifies wireline plug and perf, 15K wellhead equipment, casing test to 11,500 psi. Stimulation plan explicitly excludes diesel-based compounds. Services needed after drilling completion.

Environmental and waste management

Closed mud system required, dry cuttings hauled to approved facility, filter sock container mandated from spud through flowback. Immediate need for waste handling equipment and services.
