Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 33/9-22 S was drilled to test the Goanna prospect on the Tampen Spur between the Snorre and Statfjord fields in the North Sea. The primary objective was to test the hydrocarbon potential in Late Jurassic Intra-Draupne Formation sandstone. A secondary objective was to test possible hydrocarbon bearing sandstone in the Paleocene Heimdal Formation.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 33/9-22 S was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Bergen on 26 August 2017 and drilled to TD at 2730 m (2715 m TVD) m in the Late Jurassic Draupne Formation. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and bentonite sweeps down to 1102 m, and with Innovert NS oil-based mud from 1102 m down to TD.
The Heimdal Formation sandstone was penetrated from 1858 to 1897 m and the Intra Draupne Formation sandstone from 2672 to 2721 m. Both targets were dry without shows.
No cores were cut. No fluid sample was taken.
The well was permanently abandoned on 17 September as a dry well.

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.
