Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Wildcat well 30/6-30 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Transocean Arctic on 18 October 2018. A 9 7/8” pilot hole was drilled from 209 through the Utsira sand and down to 1000 m. No shallow gas or water flow was reported. The well was drilled to TD at 3493 m in the Early Jurassic Drake Formation. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1000 m and with oil-based mud from 1000 m to TD.
The Ness Formation was penetrated from 3260 to 3336 m. The Ness Formation consists of interbedded sands, shales and coals, and the reservoir quality was better than prognosed with higher net to gross and thicker individual sand units. Ness proved to be hydrocarbon bearing in three sand units. Each sand exhibits hydrocarbons in down-to situations and pressure data demonstrate that the three hydrocarbon bearing sands are not in pressure communication with each other. Seventeen metres of net hydrocarbon pay was found within

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.
