So Alkaid Took 20days to drill a lateral length of 5,300 ft, run a 5 ½ inch liner, cemented and tested for integrity.
Taken as linear progress, that works out at 265ft/day.
If we’re now going for a 3,500ft lateral at Dubhe, then pro rata that going to take about 13.2 days.
If we assume they started the lateral on Sun 24aug25 [With Erich saying on the video: I’m at the Dubhe pad now, where the rig is drilling the Dubhe1 horizontal lateral] – and he does say: is drilling – not: about to drill – then we might expect lateral TD on ~Sat 6 Sept25 or Sun 7th.
