Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down ...

Rich, that is a loaded question...LOL. It all depends on the oil company and how they run their gates. The actual drilling will take anywhere from 28 to 60 days, then the post drilling activities can take another 4-8 weeks, per pad. Some close up and move on, some stay on site till completion, some move to another pad, etc. I know of folks that have stayed on the same drilling gate for 1½ years and then some like us that asked to follow our rig, moved every 30-60 days.
