Neptune Energy Norge AS, will plug well 6507/8-10 S in the Norwegian Sea (OGJ Online, Jan. 8, 2020). The well was dry.
The well was drilled by the West Phoenix drilling facility about 10 km east of Heidrun field and 215 km west of Brønnøysund to a measured depth of ,2399 m and a vertical depth of 2,311 m subsea. It was terminated in the Åre formation in the Lower Jurassic. Water depth at the site is 324 m.
The objective of the well—the first in production license 889—was to prove petroleum in Lower Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Tilje and Åre formations). It encountered the Tilje formation with a thickness of about 150 m with sandstones totaling about 100 m with good to very good reservoir quality.
The Åre formation was encountered with a thickness of about 195 m, with sandstone layers totaling around 100 m with good to very good reservoir quality. No traces of petroleum were proven.
Data acquisition has been performed.
The drilling facility will now drill production wells on Fenja field in production license 586 in the Norwegian Sea.
