Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The 6608/8-2 Bjørk well was drilled 6 km South/Southwest of 6608/8-1, 15 km Northeast of 6608/10-5, 22 km northeast of 6608/10-1, 13 km Northwest of 6608/11-4 (Linerle) and 33 km Northeast of the Norne Field. It is located in the Norwegian Sea at the boundary between the Dønna Terrace and the Nordland ridge. The primary objective was to prove hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous (Coniacian) Lysing sandstones of the Cromer Knoll Group.
Operations and results
Well 6608/8-2 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Ocean Vanguard on 14 October 2007 and drilled to TD at 2831 m in the Late Triassic Red Beds. The well was drilled with seawater down to 1507 m and Aquadrill mud from 1507 m to TD.
The well was dry without shows. Several thick reservoir zones were encountered in Cretaceous rocks and petrophysical analyses showed that the Cromer Knoll section contained 79 m net sand with a porosity of 23 %.
No cores were cut and no wire line fluid samples were taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 29 November 2007 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.
