Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 24/9-13 was drilled to test the Rumpetroll prospect in the Vana Sub-basin in the North Sea, about 6 kilometres southwest of the Bøyla field. The primary objective was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks (sand injectites) in the Eocene.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 24/9-13 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Nordkapp on 16 June 2019 and drilled to TD at 2305 m in the Paleocene Heimdal Formation. After reaching TD and gas was gas was discovered a planned technical side-track was initiated for coring and fluid samples. The side-track 24/9-13 ST2 was kicked off from 1724 m in the main bore and drilled to TD at 2176 m. The side-track was drilled close to vertical with an 18 m centre-to-
centre distance from the main bore at TD. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The main bore was drilled with KCl/polymer/GEM mud down to 1412 m and with Innovert oil-based mud from 1412 m to TD. The side-track was drilled with Innovert oil-based mud all through.
Well 24/9-13 encountered gas in the interval 1943.5 to 1946.6 m in the primary well bore, whereof a total of 2 metres of sandstone with mainly good reservoir quality. The same sandstone was partially cored in the side-track. Several intra-Balder Formation sandstone layers with mainly good reservoir quality were also encountered in the interval 2074 to 2122 m. Net sandstone in Balder is 17 m and petrophysical analyses indicated they could be oil-bearing. The Balder sands were not present in the side-track. The sandstones are interpreted as being remobilised sand from the Heimdal and Hermod formations and injected into overlying stratigraphy in the Rogaland and Hordaland groups. The Heimdal For
