A wildcat well drilled by E.ON E&P Norge in production licence 558 was dry, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.
Well 6507/5-7, which was the first well drilled in PL 558, was drilled about 18km southeast of the Skarv field in the Norwegian Sea.
The purpose of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks from the Middle and Lower Jurassic period (the Fangst and Båt group).
It encountered 12-15m of reservoir rocks of very high reservoir quality in the Garn and Ile formation in the Fangst group, respectively.
In addition, about 20-30m of reservoir rocks of very high reservoir quality were encountered in the Tilje and Åre formation in the Båt group, respectively. The well is dry.
Data acquisition has been carried out.
The well is the first exploration well in PL 558. The licence was awarded in APA 2009.
The well was drilled to a vertical depth of 1597m below the sea surface and was terminated in Early Jurassic rocks in the Åre formation. The water depth at the site is 400m. The well has now been permanently plugged and abandoned.
Well 6507/5-7 was drilled by the Borgland Dolphin semisubmersible drilling rig (pictured), which will now move to PL 507 in the North Sea to drill wildcat well 31/10-1, where Tullow Oil Norge is the operator.
