Well history

WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE

General

Well 7219/11-1 was drilled to evaluate the Bask prospect on the Ringvassøy-Loppa Fault Complex in the Barents Sea. The primary objective was to evaluate the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential in the lower, Early Paleocene part of the Torsk Formation.

Operations and results

Wildcat well 7219/11-1 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation West Bollsta on 24 December 2020 and drilled to TD at 2015 m in the Early Cretaceous Kolmule Formation. In the drilling phase there were 14.6 days NPT due to problems with running the BOP and 5.9 days NPT due to problems with running 95/8" casing. The well was drilled with water based HydraGlide Optima mud all through to TD.

The well encountered two stacked sandstone units in the interval 1880.5 to 1974 m separated by a Maastrichtian to Paleocene unconformity at 1930 m. Both sandstones had mainly poor reservoir quality. The upper Paleocene unit from 1880.5 to 1930 m correspond to the Bask prospect. Weak oil shows in the form of very slow dull yellowish cut fluorescence and weak dull yellowish fluorescent residue were recorded from 1882 to 1894 m in this unit.

No cores were cut. No fluid sample was taken. XPT formation pressure points were attempted but failed due to tight formation or lost seal.

The well was permanently abandoned on 4 February 2021 as a dry well with weak shows.

Testing

No drill stem test was performed.

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.
