Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 16/2-U-19 was drilled on the Johan Sverdrup Field on the Utsira High in the North Sea. The primary objective was to reduce the depth, thickness and quality uncertainty of the Draupne reservoir for future producers. The secondary objective of the well was to gather geological information regarding the Draupne sand distribution in the Geitungen area of the Johan Sverdrup Field.
Operations and results
Well 16/2-U-19 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Atlantic on 29 November 2016 and drilled to TD at 2017 m (2009.6 m TVD) in Basement rock. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1180 m and with Carbosea oil-based mud from 1180 m to TD.
Intra-Draupne Formation sandstone was encountered at 1907 m (1900 m TVD) and was directly overlying basement rock at 1943 m (1936 m TVD). The Intra Draupne Formation sandstone had excellent reservoir properties and was oil filled all through. The pressure level in the reservoir is about 1 bar under the pressure observed in August 2012 in 16/2-12, in line with the general rate of pressure depletion in the area. There were no shows in the well outside of the oil-bearing reservoir.
Two cores were cut from1896 in the Åsgard Formation to 1945 in the granitic basement. Recovery was 99.6% in core 1 and 96.6%

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.
