Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Well 15/6-15 was drilled to test the Freke-Garm prospect on the Gudrun Terrace in the North Sea. The primary objective was to test the hydrocarbon potential in the Middle Jurassic Hugin and Sleipner formations. The secondary objective was to test the Triassic Skagerrak Formation.
Operations and results
An 8 ½” pilot hole 15-6/U-5 was drilled 1390 m MD. The pilot was drilled in parallel with the main bore. No shallow gas was observed.
Wildcat well 15/6-15 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Stavanger on 18 May 2019 and drilled to TD at 3795 m in the Triassic Skagerrak Formation. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1377 m, with KCl-polymer mud from 1377 m to 3033 m and with Innovert oil-based mud from 3033 m to TD.
Well 15/6-15 encountered the Sleipner Formation with a thickness of about 124 meters, of which 45 meters were reservoir sands of good to m

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.
