Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 7/11-13 was drilled on the Geite prospect in the Central Graben of the North Sea, on the border between the northern end of the Cod Terrace and the Jæren High. The prospect is located ca 5.5 km west of the Krabbe Field and 12 km north of the Mime Field. The prospect is a rotated fault block with Triassic sandstones truncated by the Base Cretaceous Unconformity. Well 7/8-4 tested the fault block in 1985, but down dip of the Geite prospect. The primary objective was to test the “Judy Sandstone Member” in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation.
Operations and results
Well 7/11-13 was spudded with the jack-up installation Mærsk Guardian on 8 September 2012 and drilled to TD at 3800 m, 103 m into the Triassic Skagerrak Fm. A 9 7/8” pilot hole was drilled from 122 to 715 m to check for shallow gas. No shallow gas was seen. No significant problem was encountered in the operations. The well was drilled with spud mud down to 1262 m and with oil based mud from 1262 m to TD.
The Skagerrak Formation was encountered at 3697 m with the target sandstones coming in at 3746 m. It was dry without shows.
No cores were cut and no wire line logs were run in the well. No fluid samples were taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 3 November 2014 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.
