Well history

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

General

Well 6406/1-3 R is a re-entry of 6406/1-3, which was suspended due to anchor failure on the rig Ocean Vanguard. Due to the incident Ocean Vanguard was taken to harbour for repairs and the rig Transocean Arctic was hired in to secure the well. The only objective of the re-entry was to secure the well.

Operations and results

Well 6406/1-3 was re-entered (6406/1-3 R) with the semi-submersible installation Transocean Arctic on 25 January 2005. Securing of the well included pulling out the 8 1/2" BHA left in the hole, setting of a cement plug from TD to 3839 m and installing an EZSV packer at 996 m.

The well bore was again suspended on 6 February 2005. Final plug and abandon operations were to be done with the Ocean Vanguard.

Testing

No drill stem test was performed.
