Lundin Petroleum's exploration well 6405/12-1 on the Lindarormen prospect is being plugged and abandoned as a dry hole.
The well was in production license 584, 150km northwest of Kristiansund on the Norwegian coast, about 80km northeast of the Ormen Lange field.
Its main objective was to test the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential of the Paleocene sandstones in the Rås Basin.
No reservoir sandstones were encountered in the primary objective. Shaly sandstones with poor reservoir quality but with high gas readings were encountered in the Late Cretaceous Shetland Group.
The well was drilled to total depth of 3305m below mean sea level using the semisubmersible drilling rig Bredford Dolphin.
Lundin Norway is the operator and has a 60% working interest in PL584. Bayerngas Norge is partner with a 40% working interest.
