Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6507/3-2 was drilled in the Nordland III area, east of the Skarv Field. The main objective was to test the hydrocarbon potential in the Middle and Lower Jurassic Sandstones of the Fangst and Båt Groups.
Operations and results
Exploration well 6507/3-2 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation "Transocean 8" on 6 April 1997 and drilled to a total depth of 2032 m in the Triassic Red Beds. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1000 m and with Staplex / KCl / Polymer mud from 1000 m to TD. One run with the Western Atlas FMT tool was performed. Two conventional cores were cut. One was cut in the interval 1230 m to 1236 m in the Tilje Formation; the other was cut in the interval 1402 m to 1413 m in the Åre Formation. One sample containing gas was collected at 1206.5 m in the uppermost Fangst Group. The 10-litre chamber was emptied offshore. Analysis showed a dry, most likely biogenic gas, containing mainly C1 (97.3%), some C2 (2.3%) and traces of C3 (0.4%). The well was plugged and abandoned 27 April 1997 as a dry well.
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.
