Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6608/10-8 was drilled in the Nordland II area on the Stær structure, ca 3 km north east of the Norne Field. Geologically the structure is part of the Dønna Terrace. The primary objective of the well was to prove hydrocarbons in sandstones of the Middle to Early Jurassic Garn, Ile, Tofte, and Åre Formations. The hydrocarbon potential of the Melke Formation of Late Jurassic age was considered as secondary objective. Well 6608/10-8 proved an oil-water contact in the Åre Formation. The sidetrack, 6608/10-8A was drilled in order to appraise the oilûwater contact down flank on the Stµr prospect.
Operations and results
Appraisal well 6608/10-8A was kicked off from well 6608/10-8 at 1340 m with the semi-submersible installation Stena Don on 12 April 2002, and drilled to a total depth of 2660 m (2540 m TVD RKB) in the Early Jurassic Tilje Formation. The well bore was drilled with Aquadril (KCl / polymer / glycol mud) from kick-off to TD. The oil water contact was verified to be in the Tilje Formation, approximately 5-10 m deeper than in well 6608/10-8. No cores were cut in this well bore. Water samples were acquired in 6608/10-8A. The sidetrack was permanently abandoned on 26 April 2002 as an oil appraisal.
Testing

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.
