THIS IS THE REPORTS PAGE FOR THE DIAMONDBACK # 1 WELL
01/06/2021 Met with Mike Lausch (INEOS) representative. Traveled about 2-1/2 miles to approximate well location. Road appears to have decent base but material will be needed before moving in drilling rig. Location does not appear to be in wet land, but high tide comes within about a ¼ mile according to Mike. The surface property is jointly owned by INEOS (50%) and Ascend Performance Chemical. Mike informed me all legal work will be required prior to allowing access for staking & building location.
02/27/2021 Met with w/ surveyors & Belaire Environmental Services. Staked well, test of soil showed location in wet land. Moved stake 1,432’ NW. Tested soil in 500’ x 500’ area around staked location. Preliminary soil test showed location in upland, not in wetlands.
04/13/2021
04/24/2021 Met with w/location contractor, will turn location to parallel road. Will need to move stake approximately 75’ west, this will save on location cost.
04/27/2021 Contractor began moving in equipment and pulling up main road with maintainer.
04/28/2021 Surveyor re-staked well approximately 50’ South of original stake, again to save on location costs. Will need to move or replace rancher’s water trough. Contractor moved in compactor and staked off pad. Started scraping grass off, leveling and compacting location.
04/29/2021 Continued leveling and compacting location. Bladed and compacted road. Had crew and backhoe move cattle guard off pad. Ran water line to trough and tested line, no leaks. Roughly covered line to keep cows off.
04/30/2021 Hauled in and spotted 3 loads of crushed concrete for setting cattle guard on main lease road and bad spots.
05/01/2021 Arrived early to check on location due to rain. Area is too wet to set cattle guard, with heavier rain in forecast. Canceled all operations until weather clears and ground dries enough to continue work.
05/05/2021 No activity. If we do not receive any rain, work may start up late in the week.
05/08/2021 Crew dug out, set cattle guard and used cattle panel to tie back to fence line. Finished tying in float system and bracing on trough. Trough pad was raised on a slope, so rain will drain away from troughs.
05/11/2021 Hauled in 340 tons of limestone to main pad, leveled and compacted.

05/12/2021 Hauled in 739 tons of limestone to main pad, leveled and compacted.
05/13/2021 Continued leveling and compacting location. Watered location.
05/15/2021 Hauled in 865 tons of limestone to main pad, leveled and compacted. Broke 1-1/4” water line under pad, will have to move and replace line. Traffic during drilling operation will keep breaking line.
05/25/2021 Checked location after 7”- 8” of rain over weekend. Location solid but holding water on south side of road. When dry, will put in culvert at entrance and attempt to cut ditching to drain water away from pad. Material will need to be hauled in as road is soft in numerous places.
06/01/2021 Location is still holding water at entrance to pad & rig housing side. Will bring in equipment & attempt to clear ditches alongside of road to low areas east & west of location.
06/03/2021 Backhoe on location. Cleaned about 600’ of ditch on west side to drain water on the south side of pad. Scheduled limestone and operators for Thursday morning.
06/04/2021 Hauled, bladed and compacted in 97 tons of limestone. Unable to get needed trucks to haul the limestone for the road.
KEBO_DIAMONDBACK-1- Prospect Geological prog_Final
06/05/2021 Unable to haul limestone for the road due to rain. Set culverts at location entrances on east & west side of pad. Water seems to be draining away from the pad. Rained 2” while setting culverts.
06/10/2021 Hauled in 130 tons of limestone. Built up low spots on pad and across culverts into location. Bladed and compacted pad, pad is complete. Dug ditch across main road, set 3” PVC conduit pipe to run water line to rancher’s troughs.
06/11/2021 Hauled in 276 tons of limestone for road. Built wide swing areas for truck entering and exiting location. Started running 1-1/4“ water line to rancher’s troughs and back filled as much ditch as possible. Had to shut down. Water well rig moved in and started drilling water well. Began setting corners for fencing in location. De Laune set cellar & conductor casing.
06/12/2021 Crew continued building perimeter fence around location. Had to wait on water well rig to move. Completed water line to troughs. Used line pressure to check for leaks and found no leaks. Continued fencing on 3 sides; did not build fence on road side.
NOTE: Rig scheduled to begin moving in equipment over the weekend.
06/15/2021 Crew completed perimeter fence around location. Quality mats laid mats for rig and sub structure Saturday. Rig and sub structure spotted. Lauson Rig #2 began rigging up. Found 2 spots beginning to break through on pad so set up material and backhoe to try and repair.
06/16/2021 Lauson Rig #2 moved in and rigged up. West side of location flooded from water tank running over during the night. Had backhoe drain water off of location and build berm around pumps to keep water off pad. Dug out bad spots and filled with 1-1/2” crushed concrete. Dug sump holes for rig. Preparing to spud.
