Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 2/1-16 S was drilled on the Frode prospect on the Sørvestlandet High south-west of the Gyda Field in the North Sea. The primary objective was to prove hydrocarbons in the Late Jurassic Ula Formation sandstones.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 2/1-16 S was spudded with the jack-up installation Mærsk Giant on 13 July 2013 and drilled to TD at 3891 m (3770 m TVD) in the Late Jurassic Ula Formation. A 12-1/4" pilot hole was drilled with weighted WBM to approximately 844 m RKB. No shallow gas present. The well was drilled vertical down to 2420 m and deviated from there to TD. The well was drilled with seawater down to 144 m, with water based KCl mud from 144 m to 861 m, and with Innovert oil based mud from 861 m to TD.
A thick Ula reservoir sandstone with very good reservoir properties was penetrated at 3490 m, 22 m TVD deeper than prognosed. The reservoir was water wet with all pressure points through the Ula Formation on the same water gradient. No oil shows above the oil-based mud were recorded in the well.
No cores were cut. No fluid samples were taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 13 July 2013 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.
