A semi-educated guess would be 30 days. Maybe a little sooner, maybe a little longer.

From now on the drilling will be much, much slower and alot of things could go wrong and cause delays.

Most people do not realize that drilling an oil well starts out with a “plan”. A very flexible plan as nothing ever goes according to plan. Not like building a house but more like fighting a war. Everything can be fluid, changing by the hour or minute and constant changes and adjustments have to be made.

On time and on buget is a rarity.
