Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6407/9-13 is located on the eastern Halten Terrace, northwest of the Draugen Field and northeast of the Hyme and Bauge fields. The primary objective of the well was to prove hydrocarbons in the Upper Jurassic Rogn and/or Melke formations. Secondary target was to prove hydrocarbons in the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group.
Operations and results
The well was spud on 31 December 2021 with the drilling rig West Hercules and drilled to a total depth of 2350 meter in the Jurassic Ror Formation.
The well encountered and confirmed the presence of sandstone rocks in the Upper Jurassic Melke Formation. A total of 27 metres were encountered, with very good reservoir quality. However, the reservoir was water bearing. The well did not encounter reservoir rocks belonging to the Rogn Formation.
In the secondary exploration target, the well encountered sandstone rocks totalling 76 metres in the Garn Formation and sandstone rocks totalling 17 metres in the Ile Formation. The reservoir rocks in both formations are of good to very good reservoir quality.
The well is dry, without traces of petroleum.
The well was permanently plugged and aba
