Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6607/2-1 was drilled in the Någrid syncline between the Utgard high and the Nyk High in the Norwegian Sea. The main purpose of drilling the Cygnus 6607/2-1 Exploration well was to test the Palaeocene intervals for hydrocarbons. The primary target was the Thanetian turbidite sandstones, while the Danian turbidite sandstones were a secondary target.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6607/2-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Transocean Leader on 9 February 2007 and drilled to TD at 3526 m in the Late Cretaceous Springar Formation. The well was drilled with seawater/hi-vis sweeps/PAC down to 1425 m and with Ultradril water based mud from 1425 m to TD.
The primary target Thanetian sandstones were encountered as an interbedded sandstone/siltstone/claystone interval between 1994 -2027 m. The interval is interpreted as a major Pliocene ? Eocene unconformity from 1994 to 2007 m with Early Eocene from 2007 to 2027 m. The secondary target, Danian turbidite sandstone, was not present. Shows were not recorded apart from poor shows in cuttings from a thin limestone bed at 3460 m in the Springar Formation.
No cores were cut and no wire line fluid samples were taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 26 March 2007 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.
