Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The main objective of well 6608/10-5 was to prove oil accumulation in Middle and Lower Jurassic Sandstones of the Fangst and Båt Groups.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6608/10-5 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation "Ross Isle" on 5 July 1995 and drilled to a total depth of 3200 m, in the Åre formation. The well was drilled with seawater and bentonite/CMC EHV to 1215 m and KCl/Anco 2000 mud with 3-5 % glycol (Anco 208) from 1215 m to TD. No hydrocarbons were found. No cores were cut. No wire line fluid samples were taken. The well was plugged and abandoned as a dry well on 6 August 1995.

About this data
Norwegian Offshore Directorate (Sodir) FactPages, mirrored nightly and used under the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD). Depths are metres along the wellbore from the kelly bushing unless a row gives its own unit; older cores are filed in feet. A zero the Directorate files for an unmeasured pressure, density, or temperature is shown as a dash.
