General

Well 6507/3-12 A is a geological side-track to well 6507/3-12 on the Revfallet Fault complex in the Norwegian sea. Well 6507/3-12 discovered gas in the Cretaceous Lysing Formation (Osprey discovery), and the objective of the side-track was to test this discovery in a down-flank position.

Operations and results

Appraisal well 6507/3-12 A was kicked off at 1354 m in the primary well bore on 28 February 2017. It was drilled with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Bergen to 2687 m (2551.8 m TVD) without any problems. The 12 1/4" BHA was pulled out of hole without any obstructions. The 9 7/8" slick casing was run to 1931 m) and got stuck. It was not possible to move the casing in any direction. The casing was cut below 13 5/8" shoe and the well was plugged and abandoned. The well was drilled with XP-07 oil-based mud from kick-off to TD.

No cores were cut. No fluid sample was taken.

The well was permanently abandoned on 8 March 2017 as a junk well.
