Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Exploration well 6407/1-1 is located on the Halten Terrace off shore Mid Norway. The purpose of the well was to test possible hydrocarbon accumulations in sandstones of Middle and Early Jurassic age.
Operations and results
Well 6407/1-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Dyvi Delta on 19 October 1982 and drilled to TD at 900 m in Pliocene sediments (Nordland Group). The well was drilled with seawater/gel all through. Due to problems with setting of the 20" casing, the hole was plugged and abandoned on 13 November 1982. Spudding and drilling of replacement well 6407/1-2 started the same day.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed
