Good post. I might add, Manu had no control over the contract/schedule on the well. This was a contract between Effingham Industrial Development Authority (IDA) and Pinco. The county held up on signing the contract until they had confidence in Medient's plans. I don't think the country would give the go ahead to start drilling, if they didn't feel Medient was ready to move with the Studio. The county is paying for this! Here's a link to the IDA article regarding the well.

This is not a well that they are drilling in someones backyard. Small water wells for families can be drilled and sealed in a few days to a week, but those will allow up to about 1,500 gallons use/day. The one they are drilling will have a capacity of up to 2million gallons? even though the permit allows for 150,000 gallons/day. 1.5k vs 2mil gallons....huge difference. Factor in drilling, ensuring stability, sealing, inspections, etc etc....280days doesn't seem outrageous.
