💡 Operator Intent

To accelerate pad development and batch-drill four wells by securing this permit to enable pre-winter pad construction.

PROPOSED WORK states: 'EOG would like an approved permit from this well pad to build prior to winter. All four wells will be drilled at the same time.'

To utilize a specific completion design involving a cemented liner with a wet shoe that is intended to be fractured out.

Stipulation states approval is based on 'a production liner cemented in the lateral with a wet shoe and the ability to frac out the shoe.' The cementing schematic includes the note: 'EOG Resources, Inc. respectfully requests permission to frac out the toe.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Pad Construction & Earthwork

Permit approval is explicitly needed to 'build prior to winter.' Detailed pad construction plans with cut/fill volumes exist, indicating imminent mobilization for grading and site preparation in late 2026.

Directional Drilling & MWD

A batch-drilling plan for four wells is declared to start after pad build. The well plan specifies survey tools (Superior MWD+IFR1+SAG+FI) and detailed directional plans, indicating near-term contracting needs.

Cementing & Specialized Completions

The well's approval and design are contingent on a specific cement job for a production liner with a wet shoe that must be fractured out, creating a defined, non-standard service requirement for the completion phase.
