Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6607/12-4 was drilled to test the Alve North-East prospect on the Revfallet Fault Complex in the Norwegian Sea in AREA. The primary objective was to prove the reservoir and hydrocarbon potential of the Jurassic Garn, Ile, Tofte, Tilje and Åre formations of the Båt and Fangst Groups.
Operations and results
A pilot well 6607/12-U-1 was drilled down to 1347 m during 10 to 12 September 2020 to check for shallow gas. No gas was recorded.
Wildcat well 6607/12-4 was spudded with the semi-submersible installation Deepsea Nordkapp on 12 September 2020 and drilled to TD at 4160 m in the Early Jurassic Åre Formation. Operations proceeded without significant problems. The well was drilled with seawater and hi-vis pills down to 1340 m, with Innovert oil-based mud from 1340
m to 2800 m, and with BaraECD oil-based mud from 2800 m to TD.
The well penetrated three Intra-Lange Formation sand units between 3066 m and 3100 m. These sands contained oil, with the best reservoir properties in the middle sand from 3084 to 3092 m. The primary target Fangst Group with Garn, Not and Ile formations was penetrated from 3697.5 to 3769 m and contained gas in sands with poor reservoir quality. Gas-down-to’ was recorded in Garn and Not and a potential gas-water contact was encountered at 3780.7 m in the Tofte Formation. The Åre Formation was encountered at 3863 m with interbedded sands, siltstone, mudstones, and numerous coal beds. Åre was water wet. Throughout the well no shows above background OBM were observed on cuttings during drilling.
No cores were cut in well bore 6607/12-4. Schlumberger ORA f

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.
