Directional Drilling

💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad with future SWD well as part of integrated development plan

Proposed work states 'Drill and complete 3 Bakken pool horizontal wells on this pad and 1 future SWD' and pad layout shows four well locations

Optimize pad location to access adjacent spacing units from single surface location

Surface Damage Affidavit shows pad in Section 3 accessing wells in Sections 27 and 34, with waiver required for wellbore entering Bakken system outside target unit

Implement specific environmental containment measures for cuttings and fluids

Requires closed mud system, perimeter berm, impermeable dike material, and cuttings disposal in 3-sided bin hauled to approved facility

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling

Complex trajectory with nudge section, specific build rates, and anti-collision concerns with existing wells; must navigate regulatory constraints for adjacent unit entry

Cementing Services

Specialized cement design for production liner with wet shoe configuration; multiple cement segments with specific slurry designs and displacement requirements

Environmental/Waste Management

Filter sock container requirement effective from spud through flow-back; cuttings disposal to approved facility; closed mud system mandate

Surveying and Pad Construction

Pre-construction notification required to specific inspector; detailed pad grading and berm construction specifications; existing surveyor relationship indicates ongoing need
