Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 24/6-3 was designed to appraise the Kameleon 24/6-2 discovery made in 1998. The well objectives were: to verify the field wide extent of fluid and gas contacts, eliminate geologic risk associated with the Boa structure, provide additional time-depth control, provide gas, oil and water samples, and to test local stratigraphic control of the T57 shale horizon.
Operations and results
Well 24/6-3 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Bergen on 18 April 2003. Drilling of the17 1/2" section was terminated at 253 m when the BHA became stuck in hole. Despite repeated attempts to free-off the BHA, the drill string was severed and the well temporarily abandoned for re-spud (well 24/6-4) some 20 m to the west of the original location. The well was permanently abandoned as a junk well after drilling of 24/6-4 was completed.
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.
