💡 Operator Intent

To drill a long lateral targeting the Three Forks Upper formation with precise directional control.

Well plan shows a lateral from ~11,250' to 21,300' MD, with detailed directional surveys and a target of Three Forks Upper.

To implement a robust H2S safety program due to anticipated hazardous gas.

A comprehensive, vendor-supplied H2S Drilling Operations Plan is included, with detailed procedures and equipment lists.

To cement the production liner fully to prevent fracturing out of the shoe.

Plan states liner 'Will be fully cemented in place with no ability to frac out of shoe.'

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

H2S Safety Services & Equipment

A detailed H2S plan is in place with a named vendor (Total Safety Inc.), but equipment must be installed and operational 500' above or 3 days prior to penetrating the H2S zone, creating a time-sensitive mobilization window.

Waste Hauling/Disposal

Cuttings disposal is pre-contracted to two named facilities. Hauling services to these specific sites are required once drilling generates cuttings.

Cementing Services & Centralizers

The detailed cementing program specifies large volumes of specialized cement (VariCem, NeoCem, ExtendaCem) and over 300 centralizers, indicating a significant cementing job opportunity.

Directional Drilling/MWD Services

The complex well path with a build section and long lateral requires precise directional drilling and survey services, as outlined in the plan.
