Well history

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

General

Well 30/3-7 BR is a re-entry of 30/3-7B, which was completed in 1998 and subsequently taken in use as a production test well (30/3-T-7 B). The purpose of the re-entry was plug-back and reclassification to development well.

Operations and results

The original well bore (30/3-7 B) was drilled to TD at 5970 m in the Early Jurassic Dunlin Group. On 5 November 2001 the well was re-entered and plugged back to 5379 m. All operations took place from the fixed surface installation Veslefrikk A.

Operations ended 17 November 2001 and the well was reclassified to development well.

Testing

No drill stem test was performed.

A zero the Directorate files for an unmeasured pressure, density, or temperature is shown as a dash.
