OK, we've got a range of a few hours to two lifetimes, about 170 years if you live healthy and avoid bar fights.Hit a rock or a hard place, and you can make that 2 lifetimes.
I can tell you this driller doesn't have a clueThere are lots of variables. Are you drilling with air or mud? How much air or mud do you have? Will you lose circulation in that area? How much pull down does your drill have? If you get stuck, how much pull back do you have? Does your formation change so that you will have to change bits? What size hole are you drilling? 5' rods or 20' sticks? Drill collar weight? Stabilizers or flow through centralizers? Then does the driller know what he is doing or is he feeling his way through it one step at a time?
With a truck mounted rig in my area, I could bust two of those 200' wells a day.
I can dig the first 40 feet of your well with an excavator, uses about 7 GPH of diesel and would take about an hour to an hour and a half in shale or broken gravel, but not hard rock.
Hey everybody, I think this person is talking about a Deeprock DR-200 or similar drill that is capable of drilling to 200' under normal drilling conditions. Normal drilling conditions at Opelika, AL where the drills are built.
With that said, I have used the DR-200 all over the world and it works. However I don't think it would work very well in most of Maryland. These drills work best using mud rotary in sands, clays and soft rocks. They are capable of drilling 8" holes to 200'.
As to the time it will take depends on the formation encountered and the drilling experience of the operator. I've driller one well per day 200' deep with these drills.
This event will be written up in engineering, medical and psych journals.Did anyone notice that it was an American team on a Schramm that pulled out those Chilean miners? Nice work.
This is awkward, but...
