Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
The 6707/10-2 A Haklang West flank well is a sidetrack from well 6707/10-2 S. The surface well location is ca 3.5 km south-east of the 6707/10-1 Luva Discovery on the Nyk High in the Northern Norwegian Sea. The objective of the Haklang West flank well was to prove hydrocarbon in the Nise 2 sandstone.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6707/10-2 A was kicked off on 13 October 2008 from the original wellbore 6707/10-2 S at 3110 m MD, below the 9 5/8" liner shoe. It was drilled to TD at 4850.0 m (4325.0 m TVD) in the Late Cretaceous Kvitnos Formation. No significant technical problem was encountered in the operations. The well was drilled with Versatec DW oil-based mud from kick-off to TD.
The well penetrated the reservoir, the Kvitnos Formation, at 4426.0 m (4055.0 m TVD RKB). This reservoir was expected to be a part of the Nise Formation before drilling of the well (Nise 2 sandstone). Based on the biostratigraphy results, the stratigraphy was changed. Dry gas was proven, and the reservoir properties were moderately good (Net/Gross is 0.67 and a porosity of 0.17). The GWC was defined at 4487.0 m (4092.0 m TVD RKB) giving a gas column of 37.0 m. The 6707/10-2 A was drilled with oil-based mud, and the oil base had a weak fluorescence that made detection of natural petroleum fluorescence difficult.
Two cores were cut at 4434 to 4488 m in the Kvitnos Formation reservoir. Two separate MDT runs were performed. One intermediate run with MDT on wire line obtained samples from depths 3317.7 m (3303.8 m TVD RKB) and 3350.0 m (3333.7 m TVD RKB). Water was the moveable fluid obtained at both depths. The second MDT run was run on TLC. Two sampling depths and one scanning station were p

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.
