None of this happens fast. It never does. From the time the production manager walks out into the woods and says: "drill here" it will take a year before the drill bit hits the ground. First, the permits have to be obtained, and negotiations with the royalty owners have to be finalized. Then, the landman has to cut a deal with the landowner, and this can take awhile. Then, the surveyors have to come out, and do their thing. Then, they have to come out and clear off and build the platform and, if necessary, the access road, and any other site prep. Then, they will finally bring the rig out and stand it up, and all other support equipment. It will take them a week to get the rig operating, and another two weeks or more to make the well. Then, they have to tie the well output into the nearest pipeline.
So much advance work (like anything in the world). What fraction of all that time is the actual drilling operation?
