Well history

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

General

Well 31/2-1 R is the re-entry of well 31/2-1, the Troll West discovery well. Originally the re-entry was intended for testing of a possible oil zone, but this plan was dropped in favour of a DST in well 31/2-2, situated in a more optimal position with regard to a possible oil-leg. The only objective for 31/2-1 R was thus permanent plugging and abandonment.

Operations and results

Well 31/2-1 was re-entered (31/2-1 R) with the semi-submersible installation Borgny Dolphin on 26 October 1981.

The well was plugged and abandoned on 9 November 1981.

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.
