💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad with future SWD capability

Proposed work states 'Drill and complete 3 Bakken pool horizontal wells and 1 future SWD on this pad'

Implement aggressive anti-collision measures

Operator reviewed wells within 500' and addressed anti-collision concerns, with multiple existing wells shown on directional plots

Use pad for cross-boundary drilling into adjacent spacing units

Surface damage affidavit specifically mentions drilling into adjacent spacing unit encompassing Sections 4 and 9 from pad in Section 3

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional drilling services

Complex trajectory with nudge section, build section, and precise anti-collision requirements due to dense existing well environment

Cementing services

Specialized cementing requirements for production liner with wet shoe configuration and inability to frac out shoe

Perforation services

Wet shoe sub required specifically for stage 1 perforation gun deployment

Regulatory coordination services

BLM federal minerals notification required plus drillback order coordination with competitor operator Whiting
