Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 7318/12-1 is located in the Bjørnøya Basin of the Barents Sea. The primary objective was to test the 'Bone prospect in the Jurassic Realgrunnen Subgroup. Secondary objectives were the Triassic Fruholmen and Snadd Formations, depending on a success in the primary objective.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 7318/12-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Scarabeo 8. A pilot was spudded on 5 January 2017 and drilled to 835 m. No drilling problems or sign of shallow gas/water flow were experienced in the pilot, but a deviation of the BHA was experienced. The main well was spudded on 11 January 2017 and drilled to 508 m in the Naust Formation. An inclination of 2.8° was observed at this point. This was unacceptable and the well was abandoned.
No cores were cut, and no fluid sample was taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 12 January 2017 as a junk well. A replacement well 7328/12-2 was spudded 24 m southeast of 7318/12-1.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.

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.
