Wellbore history

General

Well 34/7-31 A is a sidetrack to 34/7-31, which found a ca 35 m net column of oil in Intra-Draupne Formation Sandstone. The sidetrack was drilled to map the extent of HC-filled Intra Draupne Formation.

Operations and results

Appraisal well 34/7-31 A was kicked off at 1788 m, just below the 13 3/8" casing in well 34/7-31 on 15 April 2001. The semi-submersible installation Scarabeo 6 was used for the operations. The deviation angle increased throughout the well bore to ca 130 deg at TD, and was between 80 to 90 deg through the Intra-Draupne Formation Sandstone. Only MWD logs are available from the well, no wire line logging was performed. The well was drilled with oil-based mud (Versavert) from kick-off to TD.

The well penetrated 260 m MD of oil-filled Intra-Draupne Formation Sandstone. After that ca 15 m of Draupne Formation shale and 281 m of Heather Formation was penetrated before the younger Cromer Knoll Group was encountered. The eastern development of the Intra Draupne Formation Sandstone was thus mapped practically in-well.

There are no cores from this well bore. No fluid samples were taken.

The well was permanently plugged and abandoned on 25 April 2001as an oil appraisal.
