Verdad has built the Century Pad schedule around its neighbors, including the families and students at nearby Ridgeline Middle School. After listening to the community, Verdad is proposing to carry out the work in two separate visits, one in the spring of 2027 and one in the spring of 2028, rather than as a single continuous operation. Each visit covers roughly half of the wells.

In both visits, drilling begins around mid-March. While this phase falls during the school year, the drilling rig runs on electric line power, which significantly reduces both emissions and noise during this period. The noisier, higher-traffic completion work then takes place over the summer months and winds down in the fall.
