Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 34/10-47 A was drilled in the southeastern part of the Tampen Spur 3-4 km north of the Gullveig Field and about 5 km west of Gullfaks. The well was drilled to the N7 segment, which is a rotated fault block defined by a protrusion on the main fault. Sidetrack 34/10-47 A was drilled to investigate the hydrocarbon potential in the Statfjord Formation in segment N7.
Operations
The wildcat well34/10-47 A was spudded on 2 November 2002 with the semi-submersible installationDeepsea Trym. The borehole was a sidetrack from 34/10-47 S with kick-off from 2215 m in the Shetland Group and TD at 3020 m (2924,8 m TVD RKB) in the Statfjord Formation, Nansen Member. The well was drilled with Versavert OBM from kick-off to TD.
Well 34/10-47 A was drilled with a more gentle curve and lower doglegs than the planned well path for well -47 A. Change in the original well-path was done to ensure that the well could be easily drilled without any steering-problems related to reaching Target 1, Top Statfjord Formation.
Well 34/10-47 A was found to be dry. No cores or fluid samples were taken.
Well 34/10-47 A was plugged and abandoned on 14 November 2002 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.
