💡 Operator Intent

Develop entire 1920-acre spacing unit efficiently with back-to-back drilling on multi-well pad

Affidavit shows 85.46% working interest in unit; pad layout shows 5 future well locations; regulatory condition requires simultaneous drilling

Minimize traditional evaluation costs while maintaining regulatory compliance

Plan to waive open hole logs, relying on MWD and cased hole evaluation; specific mention of submitting sundry for waiver

Optimize completion design to reduce costs while maintaining flexibility

Frac string only as contingency; wet shoe design to enable reduced setbacks; plug-and-perf method using 7" casing

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Pad construction and earthwork

3-day waiver allows immediate start; detailed earthwork quantities (68,490 cu yds) and pad design completed; perimeter berm required

Directional drilling and MWD

KLX Directional pre-selected; anti-collision modeling completed; complex trajectory with 12°/100' build rate

Cementing services

Critical for wet shoe design enabling reduced setbacks; specialized cement blends specified for production casing

Waste management and containment

Closed mud system required; cuttings to 13 Mile Landfill; filter sock container mandate; secondary containment volume calculations completed

Completion services (contingency)

Frac string on standby only if casing issues; slick water frac design; plug-and-perf method
