GS2, You aren’t quite right on how long it took to drill wells. You must have heard that in a safety orientation. Lol. Vertical wells took maybe a month 40 years ago. Once the Bakken boom started most horizontal wells were drilled in less than a month unless they had problems, got stuck, etc. Within a few years, they could drill one in 2 weeks or less, and now it does take just a couple days.

I had to take a safety orientation a few years ago and guy doing the orientation said what you said about it taking months to do a vertical well. I just looked at him and shook my head. He had no clue.
