Isnt this the same one that had spud to TD of 29 days on one well and #0 something on another well? 

I don't recall if the rig was mentioned in the press release on the good drill time.  It is obvious that this latest round of wells by multiple operators is taking considerably longer than the best times reported.  The companies that tout their shortest drill times create mineral lessor concerns when their well is not drilled in similar days to TD.  These are deep, complicated and challenging wells. 

H&P #249 did the Blackstone in 29 days.  I know they are going deeper at the SD Smith than Blackstone but wouldnt think that would equal 10+ days unless they ran into some sort of problem ( mechanical, weather, etc)

It's not just the Smith well that is taking longer.  All the wells nearing or at TD have been operating a good deal longer than 29 days.  And they all have drill times longer than the Smith.

I have been interested this myself.  Curious situation.  In the past snippets of information would leak out, but it appears that the drilling companies are controlling rumors and information a little better. 

They have been burned by generating high expectations in an emerging play with a lot of learning curve yet to be navigated.  Goodrich saw it's stock get beat up when the last well result was not as good as the previous.  Even though there are often geophysical reasons for variations in initial well results (and drill time) The Street does not seem to notice, or care.  Over promoting a play is a double edged sword.
