Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The main objectives for well 6204/10-2 was to prove economic hydrocarbon reserves in the Jurassic L-prospect and in the Coniacian/Turonian Q-prospect, while secondary objective was to investigate possible hydrocarbons in fractured basement.
Operations and results
The 6204/10-2 well was spudded with the semi-submersible rig "Deepsea Trym" on 19 January 1997 and drilled to a temporary TD at 1145 m, where the well was temporarily abandoned on 21 november due to environmental restrictions. Well 6204/10-2 R was re-entered on 4 November 1997, and was drilled to TD at 2095 m. The well bores were drilled with a water based KCl polymer system, however, standard geochemical analyses indicate unknown additives that may affect geochemical analyses. No special drilling/operational problems were experienced in this well.
The well showed that the Jurassic section was missing, and there were no hydrocarbons in the basement. The only hydrocarbons encountered were in a thin Lower Cretaceous sandstone stringer, where a segregated FMT sample at 1915.5 m gave a good sample from a porous sandstone. Two cores were cut: one at 1872 - 1889.55 m in Upper Cretaceous and one at 1951 - 1961.14 m in Lower Cretaceous. The well was plugged and abandoned on 21 November 1997 as a gas discovery.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.

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.
