Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6407/6-2 R is a re-entry of the 6407/6-2, which was terminated at 524 m due to a blow out from a shallow gas zone. The purpose of the re-entry was plugging and permanent abandonment.
Operations and results
Wildcat well 6407/6-2 was re-entered with the semi-submersible installation Ross Rig on 8 May 1986.
The well was plugged back to 330 m before Ross Rig had to terminate operations and leave the locations for drilling well 7121/5-2 in the Barents Sea. The vessel Bucentaur would complete remaining plugging. The re-entry was suspended on 20 May 1986.
Testing
No drill stem test was performed.
