Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Well 6608/6-1 (Vågar) is located on the Rødøy High, Northern Nordland Ridge, approximately 60 km North East of the Norne Field. The primary objective of the well was to act as a player opener for the Permian Carbonate Play in the Norwegian Sea. The Vågar Prospect, defined by the Upper Permian unconformity (UPU), is a structural trap formed by a prominent horst block protruding from the Nordland Ridge northwards into the deep Træna Basin with Karstified Permian carbonates as reservoir.
Operations and results
Well 6608/6-1 was entered with the drilling rig Deepsea Stavanger on 19 July 2019 and drilled to TD at 2754 m (2752.8 m TVD) in the Permian Zechstein Group. The well was drilled down to 1415 m with seawater and Hi-Vis sweeps and from 1415 m to TD with water-based mud.
The Top Zechstein reservoir was encountered at 2468 m (2437.8 m TVD MSL), slightly shallower than prognosed. The reservoir consists of predominantly crystalline dolostone/dolomite with limestone. No hydrocarbon shows were encountered. The reservoir was tight with an average porosity of 3 %. MDT fluid samples were taken at 2476 m (2445.8 m TVD MSL, water) and 2478 m (2447.8 m TVD MSL, water).
The well was permanently plugged and abandoned on 11 August 2019 as a dry well.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.
