Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 7324/7-1 S was drilled on the Wisting Alternative prospect, 5.7 km north-west of the 7324/8-1 Wisting oil discovery in the Barents Sea. The prospect lies on the Bjarmeland Platform, close to the northern end of the Maud Basin. The primary objective was to prove petroleum in Middle Triassic reservoir rocks (the Kobbe formation). The secondary objective was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks from the Middle to Late Triassic (the Snadd formation).
Operations and results
Wildcat well 7324/7-1 S was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Leiv Eiriksson on 20 September 2013 and drilled to TD at 2535 m (2477 m TVD) m in the Middle Triassic Kobbe Formation. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis sweeps down to 891 m and with KCl/Glydril mud from 891 m to TD.
Reservoir rocks were encountered in the Kobbe and Snadd formations, but with poorer than expected reservoir properties. The Snadd Formation had shows in generally thin Sandstone beds in the interval 1065 to 1765 m. The Kobbe Formation had weak shows in thin sandstones in the interval 2090 to 2164 m
No cores were cut. MDT fluid sampling was attempted only in the Snadd Formation, but failed due to tight formation.
The well was permanently abandoned on 3 November 2013 as a dry well with shows.
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.
