Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 34/10-49 B was drilled as a geological sidetrack to 34/10-49 S on a prospect located ca 10 km south-west of the Gullfaks Field in the northern North Sea. The well had three targets; the Early Cretaceous Sølvkåpe prospect, the Statfjord Formation Spinell prospect, and appraisal of the Statfjord Formation Alun discovery made by 34/10-49 S well. The well was the second of three well paths drilled from the 34/10-49 location to explore five different targets.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 34/10-49 B was drilled with the semi-submersible installation Ocean Vanguard. It was kicked off from the primary well bore 34/10-49 S at 4563 m on 8 May 2006 and drilled deviated to TD at 5480 m (3156 m TVD RKB). The well was drilled highly deviated through Early and Late Jurassic sediments with a roughly horizontal well path in the lower half. TD was set in the Early Cretaceous Cromer Knoll Group.
No reservoir was penetrated in this well bore.
No cores were cut and no fluid samples were taken in the well bore.
The well bore was plugged back and permanently abandoned on 21 May 2006 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.
