Subsurface work and leasing can run months or longer. Drilling and completion often require weeks to a few months. Completions alone commonly take one to five weeks after the rig moves off location.

Timing depends on permitting, pad build, rig schedule, lateral length, and completion design. After drilling, multi‑stage stimulation, flowback, facilities, and pipeline connection drive first‑sales timing. Expect schedule ranges and build them into cash‑flow plans.
