Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 15/6-13 B is a geological sidetrack to well 15/6-13 on the south end of the Gudrun Terrace in the North Sea. It was drilled to delineate the Gina Krog East-3 oil discovery made by the main well. The objective was to test the presence of a gas cap up-flank on the Gina Krog east-3 structure.
Operations and results
Appraisal well 15/6-13 B was kicked off at 2031 m in the main wellbore on 3 June 2015. It was drilled with the semi-submersible installation Songa Trym to TD at 3773 m (3472 m TVD) m in the Late Triassic Skagerrak Formation. No significant problem was encountered in the operations. The well was drilled with EMS4400 oil based mud from kick-off to TD.
The main target (Hugin Formation) was not present. The Sleipner and Skagerrak formations proved to be hydrocarbon bearing (gas) with a GOC at 3710 m (3416 m TVD). No oil water contact was seen. No oil shows are were recorded in the well.
No cores were cut in the well. MDT fluid samples were taken at 3665 m (gas), 3695.3 m (gas), and 3724.6 m (oil).
The well was permanently abandoned on 29 June 2015 as a gas and 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.
