M107FG2.jpg|{{figure number|2}}Average drill times from spud to attaining total depth (blue bars) for wells drilled by QEP in Pinedale field. With improved drill bits, mud systems, and crew efficiency, drill times decreased by more than 80% between 2003 and 2013. Also shown are the number of wells drilled each year (brown bars) and the wells per rig per year (purple line). The green box shows the record well drilled in just 8.6 days in 2012. Data in part from QEP Resources investor relations presentation (http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/IROL/23/237732/QEP1Q13OpsSlides.pdf accessed July 3, 2013).
