Well history
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
General
Well 6608/1-1 S was drilled on the Copernicus prospect in the Nordland II areal to the NW of the Utgard High area in the Vøring Basin. The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in Pliocene reservoir rocks in the lower part of the Naust Formation. Before drilling the seismic anomaly was interpreted as lower Naust Formation sandstones, or alternatively a distal turbidite sequence, sourced by Molo Formation from the Lofoten area and deposited at the continental coastal slope along the Utgard High.
Operation and results
Wildcat well 6608/1-1 S was spudded with the semi-submergible rig Deepsea Yantai on 30th August 2022. The well reached a total depth of 2459/2429 mMD/TVD in the Kai Formation on the 12th September 2022.
Sandstones were not found in the reservoir section. Instead, low density smectites of Neogene age were encountered at the proposed reservoir depth. No hydrocarbons were encountered in the expected reservoir target zone. The well is classified as a dry well.
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.
