Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 15/12-17 A was drilled as a geological sidetrack of the 15/12-17 S, down dip into a separate down faulted compartment. The objective was to find the GOC and OWC which were not seen in the 15/12-17 S well.
Operations and results
Well 15/12-17 A was drilled with the jack-up installation Mærsk Giant. The well was kicked of from 3030 m in 15/12-17 S on 4 February 2007 and drilled to TD at 3620 m (2655 m TVD RKB) in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation. The well was drilled with Carbo SEA oil based mud from kick-off to TD.
The top of late Jurassic sands was picked at 3360 m (2813 m TVD RKB). The base of the reservoir (top Skagerrak Formation) was picked at 3550 m (2916m TVD RKB) and gives a reservoir thickness of 107 m TVD. The well found gas in the Late Jurassic sands and the Skagerrak formation, but did not find any GOC or OWC.
No cores were cut and no fluid samples were collected.
The well was suspended on 23 March 2007 for future use as a gas producer.
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.
