💡 Operator Intent

Develop multi-well pad with sequential drilling operations

Anti-collision report references Kandiyohi 159-90-4-21H-2 and H-3 on same pad; affidavit mentions multiple wells from same pad location

Minimize surface disturbance through pad sharing and centralized facilities

Pad layout shows three well sites on single pad with shared production facilities; cross-sections show integrated pad design

Implement advanced wellbore placement and anti-collision management

Detailed anti-collision report with 2.00 sigma error analysis; references multiple offset wells with separation factors calculated

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Directional Drilling & MWD Services

Complex trajectory with multiple section crossings; anti-collision management critical with nearby existing wells

Pad Construction & Earthwork

14,375 CY excavation required; wetland area on pad location requires specialized construction approach

Specialized Cementing Services

Wet shoe assembly and ability to frac out shoe requires precise cement job design and execution

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance

Specific inspector contact required; wetland area on pad; filter sock container mandate with strict timing
