Tier 2

Well design uses a cemented production liner with a 'wet shoe' (100' of uncemented annulus at the toe) to facilitate wireline operations for the first stage.
📄 WET SHOE SCHEMATIC / Discussion
This is a deliberate engineering design deviation from a standard cemented liner, impacting cementing program execution and initial completion methodology.

Tier 3

Permit condition mandates this well be drilled back-to-back with the BR-Wanda June 1-13H MB well to justify the spacing unit.⏰ TIME-SENSITIVE
📄 Permit Information / STIPULATIONS
This is a binding regulatory condition that dictates operational sequencing, creating a guaranteed, contiguous work scope for the drilling contractor and pad crew.

💡 Operator Intent

Execute a coordinated, multi-well development campaign from a single pad to reduce waste and operational footprint.

Drilling from the same pad will reduce waste. All wells listed above will be drilled back to back.

Implement a specific wellbore design with a 'wet shoe' to enable wireline operations for the first plug & perf run.

The wellbore design configuration for this well is a cemented liner with a 'wet shoe', where the cement job of the liner is over displaced... This will allow the first plug & perf run to be done with wireline.

🔧 Service Operator Relevance

Drilling & Rig Operations

The permit mandates back-to-back drilling with a sister well, and the rig (H&P 515) is specified, indicating an imminent, sequenced campaign.

Cementing & Wellbore Construction

The approved 'wet shoe' liner design requires precise cementing execution to create the 100' uncemented annulus, a non-routine procedure.

Waste & Environmental Services

A specific disposal facility (Smokey Butte Disposal) is contractually designated for cuttings from this four-well pad program.

Directional Drilling & Surveying

Detailed directional plans and survey programs are filed, with specific MWD tool (OWSG) noted, indicating advanced planning for precise well placement.
