1/28/2015 | Development from existing well pads: There were no existing wellpads to drill these proposed wells from. However, in order to reduce surface disturbance, Ward is permitting this 2A for twelve (12) wells and plans for this to be a multi-wellpad.
The well pad will be constructed in a manner that noise mitigation will be installed and removed without disturbing the site or landscaping.
The pad will have an all-weather access road to allow for operator and emergency responders. |
