Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 15/6-9 B is a sidetrack to well 15/6-9 S on the Ermintrude prospect west of the Dagny discovery in the southern Viking Graben. It was drilled down dip on the structure compared to 15/6-9 S. The primary objective was to prove a possible oil water contact below 3714 m TVD MSL, and test the spill point depth of the Ermintrude and Dagny structures.
Operations and results
Well 15/6-9 B was drilled with the jack-up installation West Epsilon. It was sidetracked from the 15/6-9 S well at 2824 m on 13 June 2007 and drilled deviated to a total depth of 4010 m driller?s depth, 63 m into the Sleipner Formation. It was drilled with a low-sulphate KCl/Polymer/Glycol mud system.
The MDT results and wire line logs proved light oil in an oil-down-to at ca 3948 m (3805 m TVD MSL). The MDT results and wire line logs from all three wells 15/6-9 S, 15/6-9 A and 15/6-9 B give gas/condensate up to 3485 m TVD MSL, a GOC at approximately 3641 m, and a minimum of 164 m TVD oil column below the gas.
No conventional cores were cut and only two sidewall cores were recovered from the 15/6-9 B well. High quality oil samples were acquired at 3935 m in the Hugin Formation.
Well 15/6-9 B was permanently abandoned on 23 July 2007 as an oil appraisal 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.
