Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6406/1-3 R2 is a re-entry of 6406/1-3 R. The well bore was initially drilled with the rig Ocean Vanguard, but was terminated and suspended due to anchor failure. Due to the incident Ocean Vanguard was taken to harbour for repairs and the rig Transocean Arctic was hired in to secure the well. 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.The only objective of the re-entry was plug and abandonment.
Operations and results
Well 6406/1-3 R was re-entered (6406/1-3 R2) with the semi-submersible installation Ocean Vanguard on 26 February 2005. The well was plugged and permanently abandoned on 14 March 2005.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.
