Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The main objectives for the sidetrack 6204/10-2A was to prove economic hydrocarbons and down-dip reservoir thickening of the thin gas filled sand penetrated in the well 6204/10-2 R. The well should penetrate a high amplitude seismic sequence interpreted to represent hydrocarbon filled sandstone.
Operations and results
The 6204/10-2A well was drilled, with the semi-submersible rig "Deepsea Trym", back-to-back with the 6204/10-2 R well. It was sidetracked from 6204/10-2 R on 22 November 1997, with kick off point at 1170 m, and drilled as 8 1/2" hole to TD at 2290 m drillers depth. No special drilling/operational problems were experienced in this well. The well was drilled using a water based KCl mud system, however, standard geochemical analyses indicate unknown additives that may affect geochemical analyses. No gas sands were observed on the wire line logs, and no equivalent gas sand as observed on the original well was observed on this sidetrack. No fluid samples were collected. One core was cut in the 8 1/2" section at 2105 - 2121 m in Lower Cretaceous sandstones.
Well 6204/10-2A was permanently plugged and abandoned 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.
