Courtney Moeller walks through how oil and gas wells get drilled. Operators identify locations, secure permits, then spud the well. Most wells she sees go about 2 miles down and 2 miles across, taking roughly 30 days to drill.

Questions this video answers

When the drill bit breaks ground.

About a 30 day time period.

Approximately 2 miles vertical and 2 miles horizontal.

You've got acquisition and development. This is where the operator identifies where they're going to drill and they secure the drilling site, they get the necessary permits in place and the wells are spud, which is actually where the drill bit breaks ground. Most of the operators I work with typically get their wells drilled in about a 30 day time period.
