Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The main objectives for the well were to test the hydrocarbon potential in the Middle and Lower Jurassic sandstones in the formations of the Fangst and Båt Groups. Secondary reservoir targets were to test the hydrocarbon potential in Lower Cretaceous sandstones of the Lange Formation.
Operations and results
The well 6507/3-3 was drilled to a total depth of 3830 m MD RKB, into Lower Jurassic Åre Formation. Water based mud was used down to 1720 m, oil based from 1720 to 3403, and water based again from there to TD. Gas was proven in the Jurassic sandstones. One core was cut in the Lange Formation from 2721 to 2747.7 m and 5 cores were cut in the Garn, Not, Ile, Ror, and Tilje Formations from 3375 to 3654 m. An MDT sample was collected in the Lange Formation, but contained mainly oil based mud filtrate. In the Jurassic section samples were collected in the Garn, Ile, Tilje, and Åre Formations. The well was plugged and abandoned on the 25th of March 1999 as a gas discovery.

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.
