Pad drilling and completion schedule
When this pad gets built. Drilling time comes from the lateral the plan needs, completion time from its own stage count and perforation clusters, so tightening the spacing or adding clusters moves the dates. Set the wells, the rigs and the crews and the whole timeline redraws.

- Drilling is 9 days of vertical and curve plus 2,000 ft of lateral at 1,100 ft a day.
- A stage takes 5.9 hours — 3.2 pumping plus 6 clusters at 0.45 hours each — so a crew places 3.1 stages a day.
- Every frac waits until the whole pad is drilled, so no rig is working next door.
Well by well
Each well’s rig, crew, stages and the four dates that matter.

Rigs, crews and pace
The assumptions behind the dates. They are remembered between sessions.
0.75 means 18 pumping hours a day
The well count, stage spacing and cluster design come from the pad plan, and the same well count prices the cost estimator.
