Statoil oil AS, operator of production licence 035/272, has over the drilling of wildcat wells 30/11-14 and 30/11-14 B.
The wells were trained regarding six kilometres southeast of the 30/11-8 S (Krafla) discovery and twenty five kilometres southwest of the Oseberg Sør facility within the sea.
The primary exploration target for wells 30/11-14 and 30/11-14 B was to prove oil in Middle geological period reservoir rocks (the Tarbert formation) in 2 near fault blocks. The secondary exploration target was to prove oil within the land formation within the Middle geological period.
Well 30/11-14 encountered 2 gas columns at 2 levels within the higher section of the Tarbert formation, of twenty three and vi metres severally, of that fourteen and five metres have sensible to moderate reservoir properties. Well 30/11-14 B encountered 2 gas/oil columns ANd an oil column at 3 levels within the higher a part of the Tarbert formation; thirty eight, twelve and thirteen metres severally in total, of that eighteen, nine and thirteen metres have sensible to moderate reservoir properties. each wells encountered sandstones with moderate reservoir quality within the land and Etive formations, however these were dry.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the dimensions of the invention in well 30/11-14 is between one two|and a couple of|and a pair of} million customary blocky metres (Sm3) of redeemable oil equivalents and between 2 and five million customary blocky metres (Sm3) of redeemable oil equivalents in well 30/11-14 B. The licensees can assess the discoveries beside alternative discoveries within the neck of the woods, with reference to a possible development.
The wells weren't formation-tested, however intensive information acquisition and sampling are distributed in each wells.
Wells 30/11-14 and 30/11-14 B were trained to various vertical depths of 3437 and 3343 metres below the ocean surface, and various measured depths of 3438 and 4187 metres below the ocean surface. each wells were terminated within the Drake formation within the Middle geological period.
The wells area unit the fifth and sixth exploration wells in production licence 272. The licence was awarded within the sea Awards in 2001.
The water depth is 107 metres. The wells are for good blocked and abandoned.
Wells 30/11-14 and 30/11-14 B were trained exploitation the Songa Delta drilling facility, which is able to currently drill oil well 6407/7-9 S in production licence 107 C within the sea, wherever Statoil oil AS is that the operator.
