There is no standard time to drill a well. It depends on a number of factors. An important factor is depth. A well drilled on land with an objective of the heavy oil sands in Bakersfield, California, may be drilled tp a depth of less than 200 ft, and be completed in less than a week. A well drilled offshore, Gulf of Mexico may take 2 - 3 months with target sands 10,000 to 12,000 ft below the sea floor. If production tests are conducted, this may take several more weeks.
