Statoil To Plug And Abandon 6608/10-13 Well At Norne Field In Norway

Published: 04-Nov-2009

Statoil Petroleum AS (Statoil), operator of production license 437, has concluded the drilling of wildcat well 6608/10-13. The well, which was dry, is located about 10 kilometers east of the Norne field in the Norwegian Sea, and 200 kilometers west of Sandnessjøen. The purpose of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks from the lower Jurassic (the Åre formation). The well encountered rocks of expected thickness and medium to good reservoir quality.

This is the first exploration well in production license 437. The license was awarded in APA 2006.

The well was drilled to a total vertical depth of 1,420 meters below sea level, and was terminated in rocks from the lower Jurassic (the Åre formation). The well will now be permanently plugged and abandoned.

Well 6608/10-13 was drilled at a water depth of 384 meters by the drilling facility Ocean Vanguard, which will now proceed to production license 159 B in the Norwegian Sea to drill wildcat well 6507/3-8, where Statoil is the operator.
