With you on that statement Bd.
Will add this "Spud" info :
Spudding is the process of beginning to drill a well in the oil and gas industry. A larger drill bit is initially used to clear a surface hole, which is then lined with casing and cement to protect groundwater. After the surface hole is completed, the main drill bit—which performs the task of drilling to the total depth—is inserted and this process can also be referred to as "spudding in."
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Spud refers to the early stages of drilling when rock, dirt, and other sedimentary materials are removed with a drill bit.
• First, a larger bit is used to form the well, and then a second bit is put in place to do the main drilling.
• When the main drill bit is added to the process, the task is known as "spudding in" and occurs on the "spud date."
• "Spud to completion" is the time between the spud date and the completion of the well.
Hope our interested parties find this useful
