You can drill crazy fast with a coil tube rig. No way of knowing.

They talk about of 3000 foot holes being drilled in less than a day. No shishkebob. 150 feet an hour sounds extreme but it is recorded.

It hard rock drilling it takes about 10 - 12 days to drill a DDH that deep. Sometimes more. With very good rock it could take much less, as few as 5 days, but that is rare.

Not saying what depth they abandoned at is coy.
