Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 15/6-13 was drilled to test the Gina Krog East-3 prospect on the south end of the Gudrun Terrace in the North Sea. The primary objective was to prove commercial hydrocarbons in the Hugin Formation
Operations and results
Wildcat well 15/6-13 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Songa Trym on 11 April 2015 and drilled to TD at 3577 m in the Late Triassic Skagerrak Formation. No significant problem was encountered in the operations. The well was drilled with Seawater down to 1033.5 m, with Glydril mud from 1033.5 m to 2247 m, and with EMS3300 oil based mud from 2247 m to TD.
Two separate oil columns, 13 and 3 metres were encountered in sandstone with moderate to good reservoir properties in the Hugin Formation and upper part of the Sleipner Formation. No oil/water contact was encountered. No oil shows were recorded other than in the hydrocarbon-bearing Hugin and Sleipner formations.
Two consecutive cores were cut from 3466 to 3495.3 m in the Hugin / Sleipner formations. The recovery was 100%. MDT fluid samples were taken at 3466.7 m (oil), 3471.8 m (oil), 3486.3 m (oil), 3486.3 m (mud), and 3494.0 m (water)
The well was permanently abandoned on 15 May 2015 as an oil discovery 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.
